As per long title, family member has a new Samsung TV screen attached to a hdmi over cat6 route to their cupboard... All of which I have set up.

All works fine normall/during viewing, but when using the remote 2/3 of the time you get a audible click / tick that almost sounds like a very slight electric discharge (sound your gas cooker makes igniting). This noise becomes louder/quieter with the volume.

When it makes this noise thee is a 50 ish chance the TV screen will go off black for a second before coming back again.

It only does this via the hdmi, so not via the built in apps.

I have changed hdmi cables, changed hdmi ports, changed cat6 fly leads etc... But no change.

Any ideas? frown

What device is at the other end of the HDMI cable?

Lots of internet discussion of black outs on Samsung tellys without much resolution or solution.

One guy updated the firmware on his cable box and says that fixed his issue.

I cant work out exactly what your setup is - am I right in thinking you are extending the HDMI with a CT6 balun? And it is only when using this that the picture drops? If so I would be looking at power and bandwidth on the cat6 (is it terminated properly etc).

If the above doesn't sort it then maybe progress with the manufacturer of the balun?
