DIRECTV stream box and Vizio TV

When I turn on my box the picture on the TV blinks.  It take a few minutes to stop and then the channel will come on.   My box is connect with an Ethernet.  Does anyone know a solution or what is causing it?

Did you restart your box? U might also try a new hdmi cable or different hdmi port.

This is already an issue with the streaming box and Vizio. A work around that works temporarily is...

1. tune to other HDMI input (eg. if your input is on HDMI 1 go to HDMI 2 or 3)
2. disconnect HDMI at the back of your tv then transfer it to the input that you just tuned in.

3. this should work temporarily but most of the times once the TV was turned off.TV will flash again once turned back on

I have an issue  every time I turn off the box and turn the box on again it goes to 480 and the picture freezes and nothing works on the remote.  I have to unplug the power from the streaming box for the picture to come back as normal.  I have to follow this process every time I turn off the box and the tv.  This only happens with the Vizio TV.  My other TV ,Samsung,it works just fine.  And no, it's not a wifi issue, the tv is connected via Ethernet.  It seems like a software glitch between Vizio and Directv.

Have you tried a different HDMI input on your Vizio tv? What is the display setting set to on the Dtv Stream box? Is HDR off? I have mine set to 1080p


NEED HELP?
