HL-P4674W Tivo Component problems
Posted: Sat May 07, 2011 1:35 am
This is an odd one, at least for me it is. I've had numerous issues with this set, light engine has been replaced several times under warantee and extended service etc but alas it is now out of warranty.
While watching one or two channels (most notably on NickJr) in SD through Tivo/Component the signal goes blank, audio is present. Sometimes it scans a bit, almost like an old vcr that isn't tuned/tracking correctly (for those of you that remember that) I can go back to the Tivo menu, but when I do that it takes a few seconds and the menu looks wonky, green and fuzzy, but then will be ok. Sometimes It takes longer. I have tried to switch inputs while in this state, occasionally it will switch ok and after a few seconds it will return to normal, but sometimes it won't even respond to input changes.
The odd thing is that it happens almost 100% of the time on some shows, specific channels, but on others like HD shows or non kids shows it is rare or never happens.
At this point I don't have another TV that is easy to test the Tivo on, at least not with the components.
Anyone seen anything like this before? I may be able to post video later if that would help. Wife wants a new one, I wouldn't mind upgrading but I also don't want to spend the $$ right now. Ideas?
