My DRX895 updated itself last night to the new EPG with the expanded homepage thing and its seems to have buggered up my HDMI splitter. The splitter I use uses USB for its power, I assume 5V, and the nearest USB socket to the splitter is of course the Sky Box. As far as I can tell this update has disabled power output on the one USB port on the box. I can't find any setting in the secret menu to re-enable power on this port, only the usual RF output power and the usual other hidden settings. If I bypass the splitter and go direct into the TV next to it, or input direct into the HDMI extender which goes upstairs, it works OK. It is definitely the spliiter which no longer works with the box.
Can any of the resident sky boffins on this forum tell me if this has indeed been disabled, or whether the update has managed to damage my splitter in some way?
Edit: Just tried using the 240Vac Kindle charger plug which has a USB socket on it to feed the HDMI splitter with power and it now works again, so the USB socket on the box has now definitely been fully disabled for power as well. Got to ask myself why though?
