HDMI4

I have a Samsung smart tv and just the last few days, instead of showing up as Virgin tv, it was saying EIR tv. I disconnected the HDMI cable and connected it again and it came up Sky tv. Disconnected again and then said Unknown. I find it strange that after years, Virgin tv has disappeared. Still have my channels though.

  • Has your Samsung TV had a software update.

    I believe you can label the HDMI inputs, if you set it to Virgin does it reset to something else when you switch off.

    Hi Paul

    I did have a workaround for this but unfortunately the post is now in the forum archives and can't be linked.

    Hopefully <This post>  by RMc2 which has two possible solutions will help instead

      Which is also called labelling the ports.

        I managed to rename it Virgin the way roy 247 mentioned by labelling the port. Cheers for that. My tv hasn't had an update since november. Just find it strange, all of a sudden, it lost Virgin.
