Go into menu and then tv settings and toggle around there, I can't remember exactly at moment. It's in there anyways.

Definately a settings prob, if needed do a full re flash it's maybe a bad flash

So what does the display on S9 say, when you cycle through the video outputs via the V.Format remote button? If it's working correctly, the display should toggle through all the available resolutions. If it's only going up to 576, then maybe that's your problem and your HDMI input doesn't support that low a res - you then need to set the video out to YUV in the TV System menu.
A bit unlikely though, as that's not a setting that's likely to have changed without you knowing about it.

Edit: I see we cross posted and it's sorted now. Dare I ask what it was?

dunno what it was but unplugged both box and tv from the mains and plugged back in and it worked straight away so not really sure what was up with it
