The Confusion with the PS5 continues.

Please Understand that I am an 89 Year old with Dementia - https://www.alz.org/alzheimers-dementia/what-is-dementia
So I have been able to use the PS5 that I have relatively successfully with no issues at all - the way it is setup at the moment is the following,

• The PS5 at the moment is stood on the floor, on a stand on the ground next to the TV, no problem and I have had no issue with this at all.
• From the PS5 is a HDMI Cable that goes into a HDMI Splitter, and that is then connected into the TV, via a HDMI port on the side of the TV, again no problem with this at all.
• Not only that but the virgin media box that is connected it to the main Sony TV also freezes as well from time to time.

And that has always been the case the above two things have; no problems in the past! However this past week when I have turned the TV on, and of course the PS5, the TV keeps flickering on/off and on the designated HDMI port it keeps flickering and one minute I can see the launch menu for the PS5, then it will flicker and just say "Sony" then back to black screen, before showing up as normal with the main screen of the PS5 menu. Previously it would stay on the designated HDMI port without flickering, I have taken all the HDMI cables out, checked them, no faults there!!! So what is happening? Any ideas, the HDMI cables are clean and have no faults either.

And here is a video of the issue -

AAAGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!

What happens when you remove the splitter from the equation?

The same thing. It is not the splitter or HDMI cable that is at fault............... AAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
