Hello friends:

I've tried several video settings, screensaver settings (including disabling it completely), resolution settings, HDMI react settings (not sure know what that is), and so on, but cannot resolve the following issue:

Whenever I either:

  • Temporarily change the HDTV source to something else (say, to watch the over-the-air TV signal)
  • Or go to the inner portal and then try to go back to the IPTV Stalker portal
  • Or the screensaver kicks in
  • Or basically anything that causes the HDMI video signal to change


the video signal goes black and never recovers. I have to disconnect and reconnect the power, wait until prompted the hit the remote MENU button, and then get back in that way. :(

It's almost like the MAG looses the HDMI signal when things change, and cannot regain it.

This is my second MAG256 box, and the previous one behaved the same way; so it doesn't appear to be a malfunctioning box.

My HDTV is 1080p @ 60hz.

Is this a known issue?

What settings should be used to overcome this?

Thank you in advance!
