Mag256 and blacklines

by bhuvi100x

I own a Mag 254 and 2 Mag 256s. I use IPTV Express on it and basically every 2 day or even less of usage, black vertical lines come across the screen. The only way to resolve is to reboot, and its not like I can click on Menu > Settings > coz that screen is black. I have a wifi power outlet where I power on/off via phone app, so much so that I have automated this to reboot mag every 3 hrs. I have it connected via a Goronya HDMI Switch but direct to TV or Switch doesnt matter

Tried New Regular HDMI Cable - No Difference

Got new TV ( Sony Bravia X900F ) - No Difference
Purchased Monoprice Certified Premium High Speed HDMI Cable, 4K @ 60Hz, HDR, 18Gbps, 28AWG, YUV 4:4:4, 3ft, Black - and with below
Purchased a HDMI 4K High End HDMI Switch True 4K 4-Port Switcher with HDMI Connection - in this one, it actually got Blue Screen. I am still testing with other BuzzTV, Roku on this too
Now trying with above HDMI direct to TV

However, just wondering if this is a regular Mag 256 issue? or the service or cable and/or should I got Mag 322

I contacted infomir a few months ago about this and there reply was they have never supported DTS and the vertical lines was down to my hdmi even though the same movies played on the previous firmware. Just think they are trying to cut costs having-said that I still love mags for the simplicity they just play iptv well the best in my opinion! Android you constantly have to tweak settings perfectplayer / kodi etc mags just do what they say on the tin

Have the same issue with my 256 so you aren't on your own. It seemed to start after one of the software updates. I think it was the one before the most recent one.

I tried new hdmi and different TVs with the same outcome. Rolling back was better it’s the same with the DTS audio on the latest firmware half the movies play with no sound

I got it on the latest software every few days so rolled back firmware I still get it time to time but nowhere near as often

Also get a lot of flickering until I go full screen when auto frame rate is enabied.
