Ignite Box Boots then shows black screen.

I'm here a lot

3 days ago when i turned on my TV I had just a black screen with a blue screen occasional for 1 sec.

reboot the box, it came on to say "Welcome...." but went black. Checked the hdmi cables and no change. Didn't have much time so I left it.

Next morning all was good, so i went on with life.

Today, same thing. black screen n flicker blue.

Today, I swapped cables and ports, swapped boxes with my other room and all the same. It boots up then goes black.

I am thinking maybe a res conflict, as it shows the boot but when it turns full res it won't. display. My tv says its at  3840*2100, my working tv is 1080p.

 

Any help/suggestions?

I had a similar issue when I migrated to IgniteTV. I found a solution by using a TV port with 30Hz instead of 60. See my post on the topic below:

Make sure you use the HDMI cable that comes with the IgniteTV box.

It has worked for 2 yrs until this week and I had/have done nothing to the setup. Just poof.

 

I'll look into the ports. Thanks

Things can happen.

 

Ports can become oxidized, causing a poor connection.

Connections can loosen, especially with HDMI.

TV can update firmware causing handshake issues.

Box can update firmware.

 

Swap the ends of the HDMI cable - put the end that was in the TV into the box and vice versa.  Good Luck.

Hello, @bgisborn 

 

Welcome to the Rogers Community Forums

 

We definitely want to get your Ignite Entertainment Box working properly. 

 

  • Have you tried another HDMI cable to see if there is any improvement? 
  • Is this the only TV box you have or do you have another TV with a box that we can test?

 

We look forward to hearing from you.
