yes seen that a few times only way to get it working on tosh was to put in through an hdmi selector box but dont know why

ok before i splash out on a switcher
how will this work?
thanks

same as any other scart or hdmi selector box you will have 2 or four ports into the box for connecting your hdmi devices like ps3 hd freeview etc and one port out to the tv ,whatever device is switched on last goes through to tv or overide by push button or remote,
I believe argos have a two and four way you could buy there and if no good return in a few days ,
i did ask a customer who had tosh tv how he got on with his problem he had contacted tosh but they could not say why the combo would not connect to he did buy an hdmi box from argos and worked fine

well three of my customers had the same problem with a tosh tv and bought a selector box and fixed it
I never said buy a splitter these will make it worse rather than better hdmi selectors will be powered a splitter is just shit

Ive done some further reading on tinternet and it seems the switcher/selector method is the way forward, BUT finding the correct one is the trick!

[alex123]

as i said a 2 way switcher is not a powered hdmi selector box
and as I said asda have a 4 way powered box buy if dont work take it back easy as that

just to see weem on the same issue is your tosh a 42vx503db model or a vx series. these hdmi splitter/selector boxs range from ?15 to ?50 so nxt time we go out spendin money we need to know the right one to buy. keep workin on it cuz i am

someones got a answer out there for a fix.
maybe alex can find us a make and model?

the ones i was selling were from china called hidozo its a 4 way powered hdmi splitter when these were all sold one of my mates had same problem tried a cheap splitter no worky
so he got a 4 way powered box from asda worked no problem ,this is a tosh problem not the box

[Gazmann]

ok i will give a powered one a go - lets see

when you say a powerd box do you mean powerd by batteries or the mains cuz i think batteries only power the remote but i aint sure??
