Has anybody else had similar problems? How did you solve them? I have a spare display adapter and I might give it a try tomorrow.

The most puzzling thing here is the fact that the vdr-box has worked

for quite some time before this.

Some interference between the two. How do they get mains voltage ? Same outlet of 220V used for both ? Both grounded properly ?

Yes, they were in the same extension cord. I just changed the projector to another outlet and the channels are visible again.

Thanks for the help :-)
