New Samsung losing Memory?

I have the New Silver Samsung box, and I was heeding the advice from another thread of putting it in standby mode at night. I tried this for the first time last night and when I woke up today I pulled it back into normal mode and the screen was blue, the channels were displayed on the digital screen of the box but when I moved channels I just got a blue pic.

Rebooted the box and trtied manually to put in standby rather than using the remote, same problem when I pulled it back, no channels showing up just a blue screen.

My old man is a bit of a electrical boffin and he reckons it is loosing its memory or something when its in standby, any ideas?

Re: New Smsung loosing Memory?

Does the picture return if you press the AV button on your TV's remote (after bringing the box out of standby)?

Nope, just tried, went through AV1 2 3 etc, we normally watch our NTL on av1 or channel 6 of the TV.

Re: New Samsung losing Memory?

I still think this is a STB/TV connectivity problem.

What make/model TV do you have?
What visual settings have you got on the STB?
How exactly are the STB and TV connected?
Do you get a picture on channel 6?

A blue screen is outputted by the samsung STBs when in standby, at least on mine, anyway. Sounds to me like a dodgy box - the fact that you see the blue screen means you are seeing what the box is outputting.

Thanks for help, Customer Services said it was faulty and have arranged for a new one to come out.
