					| small issue to resolve in hope maybe someone knows how to fix
 at random intervals the image on the television blanks out to a black screen for a brief period of 1-2 seconds when a program is running (not when changing channel) almost as if it is checking for the Screen Res
 it doesn't do it more than once every 20-40 mins but it does do it on all channels, regardless of HD being displayed on screen not i.e. Standard Definition and High definition
 The t.v. is a sony KDR-P42XS1, flat panel - Sony plasma widescreen 42"
 had it about 2 years (ages before HD came out)
 going in by the HDMI for HD format into the skyHDbox, receiving HD signal fine (had HD since Day 1 of launch) bought via internet retailer.
 I enquired about this here..
http://www.avforums.com/forums/showthre ... eyparkster and was directed here to investigate further...read the thread and didn't see a resolution.
http://forum.digitalspy.co.uk/board/sho ... p?t=382995 (this forum is currently down by the way)
 it's a long shot i know, but anyone have any idea how to fix this issue?_________________ ----------------------------------------

					| Stop spamming both of you...
 What have you done to try to fix the problem yourself? Oo00o0o Caps to the model number? Not good enough.

					| i am under the impression based on that digi spy forum that the t.v. requires a software/firmware update...
 question is how..?
 
 i have memory stick access slot to the t.v. and a memory stick writer/reader/copier for the pc, so i think i'm equipped
 
 i think it's a matter of seeing if there is an update for my model of t.v to resolve this known issue on the net somewhere..
 
 where is the update, is there an update?

					| Its a Sony.  It's prolly uploading you bank account details and is too busy to be bothered showing the program.
