Sky HDMI Woes

[Rexxar]

Having a few issues with a new Sky Q box.

Connect it by HDMI to a 1 year old TV , works flawlessly.

Connect it to a big ol 40"+ TV that's about 9 years old , and i get sound but no picture.

Same HDMI cable, I want to assume this is some sort of anti piracy handshake thing where the old tv doesn't have the tech to "talk back" , but is there anything else it could be? TV works fine with other HDMI sources.

It's probably exactly that. Your 9 year old TV doesnt support HDCP 2.2

I assume you've tried other HDMI ports on the TV just in case though?

Yep tried both. Fire stick is more than happy though

Is the new shiny 1-year old TV 4K with HDR etc? How about the 9 year old TV?

If you're swapping over without changing the Sky Q video output settings then that could be the issue.

On the new TV, set Sky Q to 1080p. Now swap over. Once you have a picture on the old TV, increase the resolution (if applicable) and see what happens from there. Report back.

Took a while to get around to this.

Set the box to 1080p , Still no video, sound only.

Tried a so-called HDMI signal stripper, which also failed to deliver a video signal, but did pass through audio.

I guess it's just not possible to use the old TV with a newer sky box, strange the amazon fire-stick (newest 4k version) doesn't have an issue though , unless there's no copy encryption with the fire-sticks ?
