How to turn off the HDMI2 popup that keeps happening every 15 minutes?


Question

Posted

I purchased a LG OLED TV in December 2017.  It is great, except for one annoyance. Every 15 minutes, a  HDMI2 popup appears in the center of the screen. It disappears after a few seconds.  This repeats ad infinitum.  My TV connections are  very simple.  One coax cable input to the Cable Box.   HDMI output from the Cable Box  to the TV's HDMI1 input.   The coax output from the Cable Box is connected to a Magnavox DVR.  The DVR is connected to the TV's  HDMI2 input .   The DVR is "off" when we watch normal TV on the HDMI1.   I've searched the internet for a solution, without success.  Any ideas?

That pops up when a devices screen changes, which is connected to hdmi2. I am not to sure how to turn it off but it might be the dvr sending some sort of Audio or visual output. Turn off the dvr at the plug and it shouldn’t do that.

      I recently updated the firmware on my  LG43UH610V.  Now I constantly get "Wired Lan cable disconnected" / "Wired network is connected" messages even while watching a video file from my NAS. The TV is connected and using the network while getting these messages. It has always been on a fixed IP address on the LAN.

      Hey All,

      It suddenly stopped working yesterday and i cant contol the tv from remote of the google tv
      I did factory reset to google tv but didn't help
      I do see that controlling enabled both on tv and streamer but still dead. Any ideas?

      Issue
      Whenever I start any video—whether it’s streaming apps, HDMI input, or a USB movie—the SC9S plays for a minute or two, then suddenly loses connection. Audio instantly falls back to the TV’s internal speakers, and the TV acts like the soundbar no longer exists on the eARC port. The soundbar display still shows “eARC” (sometimes flips to “OPT/ARC” for a second), but no sound.
      Temporary Fix
      The only thing that gets audio back is power-cycling the TV (standby isn’t enough; full reboot required). After that, the bar reconnects… until the next random dropout. This can happen multiple times during a single movie, which is a great way to kill the vibe.
      What I’ve Tried
      New HDMI 2.1-certified cable (same result, so original cable seems fine).
      Disabled Quick Start+ and Simplink in the TV settings, then re-enabled.
      Factory-reset both TV and soundbar.
      Tested ARC instead of eARC—works, but no Atmos and same occasional dropout.
      Plugged the soundbar into a different power outlet (in case of power spike).
      Observed Patterns
      Dropouts happen sooner with Dolby Atmos or DTS content, but even stereo YouTube videos eventually cut out.
      No obvious heat buildup; bar is in open air, front facing.
      Happens whether soundbar is wall-mounted or on its stand.
      Questions for the Hive Mind
      Anyone else seeing eARC instability with the SC9S on the UP77 series?
      Could this be a handshake timing bug on the TV’s HDMI board?
      Any hidden service-menu tweaks or firmware betas worth trying?
      Should I just RMA the bar, or is the TV the real diva here?
      Appreciate any insight—my couch and I thank you in advance!

      I haven't searched this forum, but there has to be others who find that tv remote pointer to be extremely annoying. I'm actually surprised that we still can't turn that feature off. Having the cursor/pointer feature isn't even close to the importance of being able to shut off. I mean, how hard is to put one checkbox in the ui to toggle the feature on or off? It seems like a no-brainer, big bang for the buck change that many users would appreciate
