This isn't going to sound like much help, but if it's happening after a while rather than instantly, I wonder if something is getting hot and possibly braking a connection.

It has been happening both instantly and also after a while. Definitely not getting hot as the PS5 is well ventilated........... AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
 
Yet another day, and some interesting and quirky things.
  1. On the main TV, which has been bugging me, tried the PS5, and the flickering as can be seen in the video, that I posted was still happening, even when I took the HDMI Cable out of the splitter and ran it through HDMI Port 1 and HDMI Port 2! And yet the Virgin Box, when it is in HDMI Port 1, No problem at all. Odd possibly, and it is not the PS5 that is faulty.
  2. Spare TV, inserted the HDMI Cable into the HDMI Port, and no problem at all, working fine.
So why does the PS5 not work with the main TV, which is a newer Bravia, yet will work with the Virgin Media Box? And how do I go about getting the PS5 to work with the main TV..................... AAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I do get that happening sometimes. I fixed it by getting a new TV. I notice the light under your TV momentarily went off at the same time. Mine used to have issues with saying resolution not supported despite being halfway through a game. Also why is there tape on either side of your TV?

There is not tape on the side of the TV, it is the plastic that came with it, that has not been taken out.

If it’s working fine through a different tv then you’ve ruled out the PS5. Could be the Bravia doesn’t matter if it’s newer. Is it under warranty?

I do not think so, it is a newer Bravia. Yet the wired thing is that it has been fine until this week, so why is it not working............... AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! Yet why with the Virgin Media Box, does nothing happen?
 
Yet again another sordid afternoon weather wise. And yet again more confusion remains, so the following I have done today, and quelle surprise,
  1. Tried the HDMI Cable into both HDMI Port 1 and HDMI Port 2, directly from the PS5, again I did the same yesterday and the same issues happen! Yet the VIRGIN MEDIA BOX, is plugged into HDMI Port 1, and does not have these issues........ AAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
  2. Tried again by turning the TV Completely off at the wall, leaving it for 5 minutes, turning it back on etc, still the same issues.
  3. Tried the HDMI Splitter again that is not faulty, in both HDMI Port 1 and also in HDMI Port 2, and same issues, again though THE VIRGIN MEDIA BOX is plugged into HDMI Port 1, and nothing happens, no issues, so why the PS5........AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
  4. And yesterday tried an older Bravia, a spare TV, no issues at all.
Literally all I want to do is to use the newer bravia, which I have been doing for the past couple of years, and whilst it works with the VIRGIN MEDIA BOX, the PS5 will not work, so what to do? New TV................... AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGAGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
 
Yet again, a new week and a new day. Monday has arrived and after a couple of days of not using the PS5, this morning I started it up, hoping for something to happen and it did...... So what happened?

  1. Started the PS5 up, the HDMI Splitter is in HDMI Port 2, on the side of the main Sony Bravia, and quelle surprise, the flickering happened.......... AAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! Like in the video, I had and have already reset the TV, and of course The PS5 outputs in 1080, no problem. But the flickering like in the video happened......... So I left it flickering.
  2. Then after a while what could I see, like perfection the PS5 dashboard, no problem there, after a while of it flickering it stopped and I was able to use the PS5 and game for some 40 minutes, like I have said it is not the PS5.........
  3. Then after about 45 minutes - quelle surprise, the flickering started again................................. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Just what is happening and what is going off?!!!!

Did you say it was ok when you tested it on another older tv?

If yes it’s the tv at issue, if it’s under warranty, contact place you purchased it from, if not maybe new tv time?, annoying as that is.

Yes it works fine with another spare older Bravia. But two questions which are,

  1. How come that when I have tried the PS5, with it's HDMI Lead/HDMI Splitter into HDMI Port 1 and HDMI Port 2, it flickers................... AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH
  2. How come that despite the VIRGIN MEDIA BOX, being connected to the TV, and that is in HDMI Port 1, by default, it does not flicker?
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Because it’s not:

The TV/port on the TV
The splitter
The HDMI cable


It’s the PS5.


Have you tried plugging in the PS5 directly to the TV? Without the splitter?
Click to expand...
IT IS NOT THE PS5!!!!!!!!!!

  1. THE PS5 WORKS FINE in an older TV, an older BRAVIA!
  2. Yesterday the PS5 was working fine for about an hour in the newer Bravia.
  3. And Yes, I have plugged the PS5 directly into another TV without the splitter and it works perfectly. Again in the newer bravia it worked perfectly, until a couple of days ago, so it is not the PS5!

Conflicting information.

Sounds like it’s independent of the port you used and also the HDMI cable doesn’t seem to make a difference.



Different device not having any issues so not the TV.



It’s your PS5. Graphics card likely dying.


Try a full reset first. If it doesn’t work it’s needs repairing/ replacing.

Nope it is not the PS5 which is dying, the PS5 is working perfectly!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And if it died, and was dying then explain how on an older Bravia it works, when on the newer Bravia, it flickers?! The same HDMI ports are on both the newer and older Bravia!
 
@MrRockliffe - Some Points and Corrections to your post,

Yes the HDMI 1 port works perfectly, it is connected to something else, but no issue there.

Again I put the HDMI Splitter into HDMI Port 1, and with the new HDMI Cable, which is a high speed one, The same issue happened.

  1. HDMI Port 1 and HDMI Port 2, work perfectly with THE VIRGIN MEDIA BOX.
  2. HDMI Splitter with HDMI Cable, or without HDMI Splitter, when the PS5 is plugged into HDMI Port 2, which is the one that I use on the newer Bravia, have worked perfectly, it did with HDMI Port 1, however this past week or so, THE PS5 WHEN EVER I HAVE USED THE HDMI SPLITTER OR THE HDMI CABLE INTO EITHER HDMI PORT 1 OR 2, FLICKERS LIKE IT DOES IN THAT VIDEO.
  3. Yet if I use the older spare BRAVIA, No issues what so ever with the PS5, regardless of if it uses a HDMI Splitter or the HDMI Cable from the PS5 into it.

What is plugged into HDMI 1 at the moment though is a Virgin Box, no issues.

  1. So why then if I use an older BRAVIA, do none of the issues happen?

  1. PS5 Graphics are fine, so it is not the graphics card!


Try a full reset first. If it doesn’t work it’s needs repairing/ replacing.

One thing your could try to test if the tv or splitter is at fault - do you have an alternate 4k console you could try eg xbox, ps Pro, pc, laptop etc.

Also on the ps5 try turning off hdcp and hdr.
Click to expand...
The Splitter is not at fault, and I have tried those other methods, yet it still flickers.................... AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
 
So yet again this week - yet MORE CONFUSION!!!!! I mean really, what is going on? Just two questions which are as follows.....
  1. How come on the main newer Bravia TV, when the VIRGIN MEDIA BOX, is plugged into either HDMI 1 (It's standard port that it is connected to; the TV does not flicker, neither does it if I put it into HDMI Port 2, which is the one that the PS5 is connected to?)
  2. Yet how come if I use the PS5, with the newer BRAVIA that until a couple of weeks ago was working fine, it flickers when it is using either HDMI Port 1 or HDMI Port 2?! Yet Despite the HDMI Cable and HDMI Splitter and PS5 being fine, why does the TV FLICKER?! Yet if I use the PS5 with an older Bravia TV, does the PS5 work perfectly fine with no flickering at all?!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
But then the CONFUSION THIS WEEK? Well here is what it looks like and this is what has happened?
  1. YET AGAIN FLICKERING!!!!!!!!!!! I MEAN WHAT IS GOING ON?!!!!
  2. Sometimes this week the PS5 when it has been in the standard HDMI Port 2, on the newer Bravia, it has been intermittent to say the least, the other day no problems for an hour or so, before the flickering.
  3. Then of course another day last week, with the newer bravia, 20 minutes of the PS5 working, then the TV FLICKERED AGAIN.
  4. Today.......... Not even working properly, with CONSTANT FLICKERING, and then for a minute or two, the normal PS5 Screen appeared, before the TV Was Flickering again.
  5. YET THE OLDER BRAVIA, NO FLICKERING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  6. AND UNTIL A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO, NO ISSUES AT ALL WITH THE NEWER BRAVIA, SO WHY NOW HAS IT STARTED FLICKERING?!!!!!!!!!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just to check, you have you ps5 set the same with both tvs? It might be worth turning off all the 'advanced' features of the ps5 like hdr, deep colour and all that stuff (iirc they default to auto). I'm just trying the thing about differences (from a video pov) between Virgin and ps5. Does your vm box do 1080p at 50hz?
Click to expand...
  1. The PS5 is set up with THE NEWER BRAVIA! I have also tried turning off all the "advanced features." Nothing at all, has no effect.
  2. The PS5 when I use an OLDER BRAVIA TV, which is a spare one DOES NOT FLICKER AT ALL
  3. The PS5, flickers when it is in THE NEWER BRAVIA, WHICH HAS ONLY BEEN HAPPENING FOR THE PAST FEW WEEKS, BEFORE THAT, NOTHING AT ALL NO PROBLEMS.............
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Yet again more Disability Discrimination against an 89 year old with DEMENTIA..... Enjoy being banned.

Then perhaps the Newer Bravia is faulty?



I'm not sure commenting on your unnecessary use of "AAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH" in every post is actually disability discrimination, or indeed a recognised symptom of Dementia

Actually it is not "Unnecessary" use, please educate yourself on DEMENTIA, before carrying out blantant DISABILITY DISCRIMINATION
