Help please - this is driving me mad
I have a few PIs setup - one of which is in the bedroom and on the Tv we have there
Now its a fairly old LCD from before days of 1080P - however it does 720p and 1080i fine from everything from the Xbox One and PS4 to other devices such as Sky HD and Blu Ray players
However as soon as I connect the PI it gives a flicker (as it does when given an out of range signal such as 1080p) and dies
The TV in question is a Sharp LC37RD2E = http://www.sharp.co.uk/cps/rde/xchg/gb/h...t=LC37RD2E
I have tried the various following in Config.TXT and still no signal
With the exception of the second to last one they all just go out of signal the second the PI is switched on
As such im using the composite video connection
That's outputting at 720x576@50
This is all with OpenElec
What I should also add is I tried RaspBMC - I thought I was onto a winner with this as the entire download and installation procedure worked a treat and I got a picture on the TV
However the second it had installed and tried to boot XBMC I again got the "fault"
Anyone any ideas ?
