    In lots of different forums I can see people have had issues with loose HDMi connection. Whereby if you slightly move the wd box it loses the picture and you have to wiggle the hdmi cable a bit. This can be rectified by using an alternative hdmi cable. If anyone who has had this problem and fixed it can you let me know what hdmi cable fits the best ?

    Thanks

    it's weird how an HDMI port and cables are standardized yet results vary by cable..
    glad you found one that works for you

    This trick. Basically, try different HDMI cables and versions (1.3, 1.4...) till you find one that works for you.
