Common HDMI and HD TV problems
Most HDMI problems come down to a handful of causes: the wrong source selected, a faulty or loose lead, a device setting, or a soundbar connected to a port that does not carry audio back from the TV.
The engineer checks ports, cables, inputs and device settings in turn, so the fix addresses the cause rather than adding another box or lead.
HDMI installation, HDMI over Cat6 or Smart TV setup?
HDMI installation
Best when devices need connecting to one TV using suitable cables, inputs and settings.
HDMI over Cat6
Best when picture and sound need to travel to another room over a longer cable route.
Smart TV setup
Best when the television needs WiFi, apps, streaming services or account setup.
How an HDMI installation visit works
Confirm the equipment to connect and the problem you are having.
Ports, cables, inputs and connected devices are checked.
Equipment is connected and picture, sound and settings tested.
Cables are tidied where practical and switching is explained.
Wall mounted TVs and tidy cables
When a TV is on the wall, HDMI leads, power and the aerial feed all need to reach it without leaving a tangle. Planning the device positions and cable route before mounting makes the finished setup neater and easier to use.
For bracket fitting and cable routes, see TV wall mounting. If a new aerial socket is needed near the screen, see extra TV points.
