    Make sure your hdmi cable is properly connected and not loose try taking it out and putting it back in your box and tv, its your tv reporting mode not supported, might even require a change of your hdmi cable.

    Could it be that you switched to a mode like 1080p on the box and the TV don't support that mode? ie: not a full HD tv?

    Sounds like someone has pressed the V format button a couple of times on the remote for the F3.

    The easiest way to see is to connect the box to the TV with composite cables. Use the CVBS connectors on the back of the box to connect to a composite input on your TV. Then cycle round the different TV formats in the TV System menu until your HDMI springs back to life.

    If you don't have any composite leads handy, you could try doing it "blind".

    Press the V Format button twice, then wait around 10 seconds. If still no output to TV, press the V Format button twice again & wait another 10 seconds. Keep doing this until you get an output on your HDMI. There are around 10 different TV fomats so it might take a few goes before you find the right one.
