Picture Flicker
Hi All
Recently we have been having a slight issue with my 360 box..
The picture flickers sporadically when watching broadcast channels.
We normally watch tv most evenings, & for the last couple of weeks or so, there as a noticeable but brief flicker, which happens almost every evening, this happens 1-3 times an evening between around 7pm-12am & is becoming a little irritating…
So far I have tried the following to see of its an issue my end:
Rebooted both TV & 360
Checked for Software updates on both TV & 360
Swapped HDMI cables
Checked coax connection both ends (wall feed to 360)
Replaced power supply/extension cable
Changed HDMI port for 360 on TV…
Changed frame rate/Match frame rate setting on 360 on & off
Change picture settings to ‘Normal’ on TV
The thing is if I watch TV via an app ie BBC Iplayer, Prime etc via 360 box its perfect no flicker at all & other devices ie games console etc all fine…
So with all the above taken into account I can only think it’s either an external signal fault/interference or possible HDMI issue with v360 itself at this point…
As echoed the issue is very sporadic in nature but can almost guarantee it will show itself at least once an evening, its akined to the old days when a neighbour used to switch on a hoover for example & the picture would briefly flicker…
Perhaps a signal test from your end for 2-3 days/evenings might shed some light on this as the online one only gives basic info…
The other possibility of course is that with multiple road works going on in our area could this have something to do with it ?
I’ve searched the issue also via this & other forums but the issues published are not quite the same as what I’m currently experiencing & at best only offer basic solutions as echoed earlier which I have already tried several times…
The only similar post I can find suggested a ‘provisioning issue’, whatever that means, from user Tonhaz…
Any advice would be greatly appreciated as I have run out of options to try my end…
I’m hoping that it’s something you may already know about ie maintenance in the WD area…
If that’s the case, then at least this will put my mind at rest…
Kind Regards
E
