Oops - watching telly via my satellite box - bam - frozen screen. Guiltily, I assumed that my STB had locked up since pushing buttons on the remote elicited no response. Then I saw that the display on the front was still responding. Bugger - the HDMI output on the STB must have died, or the display process crashed.
Well - not so. It was actually much simpler, but very annoying all the same. The HDMI plug was falling out of the socket in the back of the TV. If I wiggle it, I can usually get things up and running again, but bam - there it'll go again.
It's not wear and tear - TV and cables are under 1 yr old. I've tried a different HDMI cable - no improvement.
I'm thinking of wrapping a bit of teflon tape around the plug to bulk it up a bit.
So - is anyone else having trouble with insecure HDMI connections on a Panasonic 50V20 or similar?
