Sky Q picture dropout for a few seconds
I've looked through the forum & noticed that other people have had this problem. I'm getting this problem on all channels, on recordings & if using the Sky built-in apps So far I've followed these suggestions:
1) change hdmi cable (I've done this twice, each time replacing the cable with a high quality 2.1 compliant one)
2) changed the tv hdmi port
3) performed a complete power cycle, also cycled my BT broadband router
4) performed a soft reset via the hidden menu
I'm in an apartment block with a communal dish & no one else a
has this problem.
any other suggestions?

Tv is a Samsung 55" S95C (2023). The problem occurs at HD & UHD. TV works fine as a standalone (no dropouts on broadcast or streaming, including HDR, problem only via Sky Q input), or with BluRay input. We don't have an alternate TV to try.

Did both, both are current recommended, according to Sky & Samsung.
