Result after 13 hours of DTV - NO Standby, NO fault ! So my TV is working perfectly, just as it did for 7 years with V+. Went back onto TiVo and up comes the Standby fault again within half an hour.

TV - faultless. TiVo - has a fault.

The matter is in good, responsible hands and I expect the existing TiVo box to be changed.

So the irresponsible posters who glibly told me to dump a perfectly good TV and spend £800 on a new TV, know absolutely nothing about either TV`s or TiVo.

I suggest they refrain from posting any more replies to people who need help.
So, without trying the existing HDMI cable on a different input and without swapping the HDMI cable, you've deduced that the Tivo is at fault?

You do realise that if you report this to Virgin and the technician discovers that it's your HDMI cable or a faulty HDMI socket (I have seen faulty HDMI sockets cause an otherwise healthy TV go into standby), you run the risk of being charged a call out fee?
