Vodafone TV & SKY

[axwaxw]

Hi All,

Using the SAME HDMI cable and HDMI input:

SONY TV

----------------------

• Apply TV Works
• Chromecast Works
• Vodafone TV Works

PANASONIC 4K TV

--------------------------

• Apple TV Works
• Chromecast Works
• VODAFONE TV DOES NOT WORK!

with Panasonic + Vodafone I get no picture (nothing, zero, zip, bubkis) and, apparently, no signal over HDMI.  My cable is about 10m, but this does not seem to affect any other device.

I have tried a bunch of different options, such as swapping out the HDMI cable, changing the input, using an HDMI cable splitter, but I am getting nowhere. Very frustrating and perplexing.

Any clues?

Thanks

@axwaxw  What does Panasonic say?

On your Panasonic TV, there will be a HDMi resolution setting, if it's hard coded to 4k, it won't scale down. If it can be scalled, down, you may have to compare the hdmi settings on resolution and fps with Sony config. ps. i was under the impression that the vodafone tv is 4k capable.

Yes there is an issue with Panasonic TV's with both gen1 and gen 2 Vodafone boxes, you have to set the res to 1080p otherwise you will get it flicking on 4k setting. Is it a problem with Vodafone TV or Panasonc?

Have since spoken to Panasonic they say try changing HDMI modes under settings, HDMI auto setting Mode 1 & Mode 2 try Mode 2....hope that works...

There is no known issue with VTV with newer Panasonic TVs, if you use the supplied HDMI cable that came with the STB and ensure HDMI3 is used as the input.
