I believe I have the same problem as murilofla and JonniMR. My HDMI will drop out occasionally. Changing out HDMI Cables, and adjusting frame rates etc dont help. It seems like people have determined that its an HP Chromebox Hardware problem. Is that true? Is it verified that replacing the device fixes the problem? Mine is bad enough that it is basically unwatchable.
Thanks,

Thanks for the quick reply. I hadnt tried it with another monitor but just did with an older 17inch computer monitor. No problems there after 30 minutes of runtime with a movie on Openelec. I think the cut outs would have shown up by now.. Any ideas? My TV I want to use this with is a Vizio e601i-a3. Its a bottom rung 60" TV about 1 1/2 years old, but has been pretty good with everything else..
Thanks,
David

One button press turns into 20 or so. Judging by the FLIRC forum I am not alone in this issue. Don't know if it's occuring as they get some age on them or what. At any rate I need a remote ASAP before my wife orders sattelite again. Is the PS3 remote working now? If not I guess I'll go with the Rosewill from the wiki.

I am considering purchasing the Asus/HP chromebox?

Thanks!

It does proper 23.976, 24 and 59.94. Basically, if you don't need frame-packed 3D support, Chromebox is really hard to beat for the price-to-performance ratio.

JonniMR had an Asus, not an HP. If the problem persists under ChromeOS using multiple HDMI cables across multiple displays, then it's likely a hardware issue. While it could be a HDMI handshaking issue as well, it's not likely that multiple displays/cables would exhibit the same issue.
