A friend has a setup, oldish LG TV, android tv box for iplayer etc amongst other uses, and a humax freesat box.
NONE of these connected to router via wired or wireless, as soon as both boxes are connected to the TV via separate HDMI leads, then the plusnet router looses connection.
Swapped router out, better one just suffers packet loss without actually dropping the connection.
Tried router on different ring, different cables, microfilters.
Connected Android box via Ethernet cable, causes other devices (phones etc connected via wifi) to have packet loss.
All very strange, can only think this box has a strange fault, but cannot understand how it causes a router to drop connection when its not even linked to it!
