upto now i've been using an unknown HDMI cable (came with sky+HD box, which i've now sold). i've had to buy a new HDMI cable to go with my mythtv setup.<br>the local shop had 2 types, so i went for the more expensive HDMI 1.4 specced cable.<br>
<br>now when mythtv boots, i either get no display (with the tv switching between wide and 16:9 ratio), or a load of snow over the screen (like an untuned analogue tv signal).<br>i reboot the mythtv pc, and it shows a picture fine at bios level, just not once mythbuntu starts booting.<br>
<br>i've been able to get into mythbuntu 'safe mode', enter safe graphics mode, and re-configure the display. reboot as requested, but still no display once mythbuntu starts to load.<br><br>annoying.<br>but whats even more annoying, is the cable works perfect with my HDMI laptop (intel HD graphics) at 1080p.<br>
since i bought 2 of the same cable, i try both; they both exhibit the same issue with mythbuntu. <br><br>mythbuntu setup:<br>nvidia 210 gfx<br>mythbuntu 0.24<br><br>any ideas how i can fix this? i know it's a bit overkill, but i COULD rebuild it from scratch if it came to it. i'm not very good with linux - i can get my way around and usually understand what im doing when i follow a guide, but not actually diagnosing issues.<br>
<br>oh, SSH and VNC works fine and mythtv seems to be fully working (hdd activity when i use the controller to go around the menus), just im getting no display..<br>
