[QUOTE="Channel Hopper, post: 1124579, member: 175144"] I was scratching my head for a few minutes on this one, the SF8008 from TJ, but I suppose any 4K receiver will do the same. Playing around with the video settings on a friends UHD monitor, I found I could prefect the picture quality from the box by changing the video output in the menu from 'automatic', to 'all resolutions', and spent a few hours looking at various 4K offerings from both Youtube and satellite. When I returned home last night I put the box back on the satellite system and couldn't get a picture beyond the image start up screen, no menus, just a blank screen. The receiver had not locked up since I could turn the receiver on and off, but nothing else would function. Tried three HDMI cables with no change. I thought the image had failed and was in the proicess of looking for the USB stick, which I had left in the back of the trusty old Technika (40") pulled from a skip years ago. Just by chance I put the cable into the back of the TV and there was a message on the screen with the words 'not support', though without the receiver menus available changing anything back was impossible. Eventually realised the channelbuttons were also functional, so down one to Ary Digital (from Astra UHD) brought up the picture and menus, allowing reverting back to the disabled video setting. I doubt I would have found out it was the forced 2160 frame of the channel causing the blank screen (and no audio). Sitting in the corner with the dunce hat at the moment. :-doh [/QUOTE]
