Hi

I'm struggling to get a stable connection between Bravia 8 ii (K65XR8M25BP) and a Freesat 4k (UHD)  recordable receiver.

When I activate the receiver, the TV picture will blank off then back on every 60 seconds or so while it negotiates with the receiver. It will settle eventually, but it can 5-10 attempts before settling.

I have tried different HDMI inputs & cables & the HDMI modes on the 8ii but not found a reliable solution.

The Bravia controller app is reporting output from the Freesat box as 4k HDR.

The TV works perfectly with every other system I've tested it against - PS5, Xbox, 4k blu ray player & Amazon 4k cube - so I think the issue must be compatibility with the Freesat box itself.

Wondering if anyone has had similar experience & has a solution..   because otherwise, the 8ii is excellent.

thanks
