Does anyone else experience this issue? I’m not a technical person but I will try to explain as much as I can.

I am using Astro Ultrabox and plugged it to HDMI 1 port. Every time after I turn off the Ultrabox and TV (put to sleep only, didn’t unplug the adapter), I turn on back both TV and Astro, the TV seems not able to detect my Astro box on HDMI 1. It is showing black screen, I will need to restart my TV and only it will reappear. I don’t think it’s Astro box issue? I just started using Astro recently so I cannot validate the root cause yet.

OK, I will try TV first before AU. Hopefully will solve the issue.

ARC is used for my Sony sound bar and I try not to unplug it. I did once and caused my TV not able to connect it.

Oh it’s related to that? I will take note about this.

Anyway, after using jimbet1337’s suggestion for a day, it kinda solves my issue. I will continue using it and see if the issue still persists later. I don’t mind if it’s occasionally but it happened too frequently in the past few weeks.

Sony.

I cannot believe that I’m still struggling with this issue for two years. Changing a HDMI cable is not a solution for me because my cables are hidden behind the wall and it’s going to be difficult for me.

It’s annoying to be honest. I don’t know what else I can do.

I tried but didn’t solve it.

I only have one HDMI cable and I cannot afford to lose the access to watch my TV.

So I just remove the pin, what tool did you use to remove it?

OK you used pin, I read back your old posts. Which side should I do it? To the TV or decoder side?

I waited for 2 days to update you about this. I took the risk and used a pin to “spoil” the CEC. I didn’t manage to remove it but I guess I did spoil it in a way. I think I nearly spoilt the one next to it as well but luckily it wasn’t damaged entirely and the cable is still working well.

OK, after two days no such issue anymore with the Ultra Box. I shall monitor for a longer period but thanks for suggesting again despite you suggested two years ago but I was too afraid to take the risk that time.

I checked on Shopee and it’s not that cheap but if I cannot do it myself I would buy it next time.

Yeah, it no longer has the issue now even after few days.

Unfortunately, it is happening again recently after it was switched off for almost 3 weeks as I don't live in this house all the time. Sigh.

I always wanted a 65" and above TV, but my living hall is too cute and too small, and the wall won't fit 65". 55" is the max I can get.
