I've had my HDR 1000S set up in my bedroom for several months now. I don't watch it too often, a couple of times a week to catch up on all the recordings I have made. Today when I turned it on there was no signal on the TV. It appears that the HDMI output has stopped working? I tried all the obvious things, a new cable, different HDMI socket on the TV, etc. Even a factory reset!
Both the cable and TV HDMI port works fine with other devices. Strangely though the composite output works fine but the picture is obviously not as clean. When connected via composite I checked the settings to try a different HDMI resolution and noticed that the HDMI settings are all greyed out. I decided to just watch via composite and the box started to cut out after about 20 mins...it would just power off. It does feel rather hot and also the fan doesn't seem to kick in. Any thoughts...is it on it's way out? I'd be sorry bury this box in landfill...
