Hi,

I recently got the V+ service and since my TV only has 1 HDMI connector I bought a 5-point switch. Since I also have a X-Box and PS3 a switcher is kind of essential.

However, whenever I have the switcher attached the V+ tends to crash or ghost specifically when it tries to record a channel. I don't understand why recording a program would cause this at all since the additional tuners shouldn't be interacting with HDMI at all.

On some occassions also I can be watching V+, switch it off and switch on one of the consoles and there will be a distorted slight ghosting image from V+ left behind.

My current TV is a 32" Hitachi HD Ready TV, and the switcher is http://www.play.com/Electronics/Elec...h/Product.html

Does anybody have any ideas why this would be happening, due to the crashes I have had to format the V+ box twice already as the V+ service becomes 'unavailable' after each of these crashes and the only way to get it back seems to be to format it.
