Just had my V+ installed but somewhat foolishly let the installer go before checking the HDMI connection worked.

I have tried two different HDMI cables, and two different HDMI sockets on my TV, but each time I select High Def HDMI in the V+ settings screen, and change the input on my TV, the HDMI picture is completely unviewable, and is in very fuzzy blue/black - therefore I do not accept the picture and it automatically reverts to SCART RGB after a few seconds.

Anyone else had this problem or able to offer a workround ?

Also got a problem with the uninitialised PIN - I try to access the relevant menu to enter the default 1234 but it will not allow me to do this. A check on the Tech Info screen confirms 'uninitialised PIN' - is there a home-based workround for this ?

I have the silver TV Drive box, by the way, plus the V+ EPG

Edit - Have rung Faults re the PIN issue, they will send a hit to the box, so 0000 in 5 mins to an hour

Edit Sorted the HDMI problem with a reboot
