Mag 254 Will not load unless with HDMI Settings

[jimmyboscom]

I have two Mag 254 but one will only load when I set the video to SD mode. If I use any HD mode, it will not load.


Any assistance?

NP jimmy.
Take it that it worked again after the server came back?

No! Still not working via HDMI. Server works fine load and everything fine, but only when I use the SD video connector to the back of the device. If it connected via HDMI, when its booting, the screen can hardly be recognized, then after the TV says, no input. On the other hand, If I connect to the SD video connection, It will boot perfect when everything is set to 480i

make sure the tv is set to 1080p and set the box to that too

Did that. I have two Mag 254. The other works fine. But when I put the exact settings in the other in this that is having the issue, The HDMI port seems not to work. It only works on NTSC (480i)

Make sure you have the latest firmware.I believe there was a bug with the previous firmware.

You need to go into settings and change from comp. to hdml then should work

Jimmy try switching HDMI cables with the unit that works...

the Mag seems to prefer the ver 1.4 HDMI

Yes! Both boxes are with the latest version ans the configurations are identical. I think that box is defective.

I did that. Different HDMI and different HDMI port on TV; same outcome. I think the box is defective. I think I will have to give up on it.

 

[K00lKatT]

have you tried switching the cable??

 

[jimmyboscom]

My conclusion is that the box is defective so I will just use the new box only.

Thanks for everyone who assisted. I guess we can heal the sick but unable to raise the dead. LOL!

 

[alphablondy]

and both boxes tried on each television?

 

[K00lKatT]

without checking, your conclusion is flawed..

Try doing a factory default

you should also check for networking conflicts..
