LG TV constantly switching Filmmaker mode on and off

Hi All,

Recently when I've tried to watch Game of Thrones using On Demand on my main Virgin box it causes my LG TV to switch picture settings every few seconds.

I've tried turning off Filmmaker mode. I've switched the HDMI port. I've been into the additional picture settings and nothing seems to stop the picture from flicking back and forth in the mode settings.

The only other time I've seen the picture settings change is when watching TNT Sports Ultimate. This switches the picture mode but stays in that mode until I change channel.

It's impossible to watch anything when this happens.

    I have this problem too, it started at around Season 3 episode 7 and has become unwatchable by season 4. Tried on LG, Panasonic and Hisense TVs with three different 360 boxes, all the same. There's also a very thin white line at the bottom of the screen.

      I've tested GOT series 3, episodes 7 and 8, also GOT series 8 episodes 3 and 4 on my LG OLED48C46LA without any problems on either Sky Showcase or Sky On Demand Ultra HD

    Also have an LG tv and have disabled everything related to pictures changes, nothing “auto” is enabled anywhere and done what the other 2 comments suggest but this still happens to me.
    It is also only this one program on virgin tv that does this. Very strange, very annoying

      I don't watch GOT or use Filmmaker mode but I do have an LG TV and there have been updates to the TV recently have you checked your TV is fully updated to the latest software just to rule out any conflicts there.

    Hey Paul555, thank you for reaching out and  we are so sorry to hear about your LG TV issues.

    Did any of the above advice help at all?

    First thing to do is disable Auto Picture Mode to stop the LG from automatically changing its picture preset. Also select the 360's HDMI resolution to 4K (instead of auto) as this makes the 360 do all the scaling and outputting to 2160p, thus preventing mode flapping — no more constant switches between 1080p and 2160p mid-playback.

    If you have Match frame rate set to On on the 360 box try turning it to Off to see if it makes any difference.
