quote: yeah i used to use ps3 through hdmi, and it never made tv go off at all, im thinkin maybe the component connection in tv may be dodgy, as if i unplug component plug from ps3, and plug it back in, it comes straight back, where as when it goes off on its own, it takes a few seconds get picture back up. would having a hdmi splitter be best? so that i have ps3 and virgin box going to hdmi splitter box, then box to tv? like this thing below...... http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/5347627/Trail/searchtext%3EHDMI+SWITCH.htm | |

Or... have you tried putting the Virgin box over component cable? (normal leads will do... don't have to be specifically bought as "component" cable) Then run the PS3 into the HDMI. | |

You can get HDMI switches BTW.. I actually saw one in Asda for £15 made by Philips (manual button press one). | |

Is the resolution set correctly on the PS3 to what the TV can handle? | |

i have my ps3 connected upto tv via component cables cuz i dont have 2 hdmi connections, i currently have ps3 connected via component cables but every 5 mins or so the tv goes blank when ps3 on, and comes back about 5 seconds later, but never does it with virgin media connected by hdmi. |
