    Hello everyone, I have a problem with the image. Everything worked on the old tv on the new samsung tv there is no picture. The program name is displayed, the decoder menu volume level is displayed and the picture and voice volume are not displayed. I restored the factory settings of the tv and decoder.

I will add the decoder replaced in January. Thank you in advance and please help. Regards

    If the menu displays and the image is not, the problem is with the signal level. On all programs? What are the levels when you enter the antenna settings?

    Remove the power plug from the set-top box and wait and connect

    These set-top boxes are total crap. I have a multiroom on the hd5500 and 3000 and I have been exchanging it for the fifth time recently. It just happened that the wife in Poland.

    Antenna properly connected. TV set-top box connected by hdmi. Previously, everything played on the old TV and not on the new one. The decoder displays the first bar at 90% and the second bar at 65% on each channel. All channels are down. Black background

    As for set-top boxes, I changed it 3 times last year. Today I will check my set-top box on another TV and see what will happen.

    Then the menu would not be displayed and the rest, look at the post above.

    Unfortunately, these decoders are crap. There is always something going on with me. Today, for example, it flashed, that is, the image and sound disappeared for a fraction of a second. Turning off the power and turning on after several dozen seconds helped.

FAQ

TL;DR: No HDMI video from Polsat HD 3000 on Samsung? Power-cycle the decoder. One user replaced theirs "for the fifth time" and advises, "Remove the power plug." Then reseat HDMI and test 1080/720/576 outputs. [Elektroda, bumble, post #18067728]

Why it matters: For Samsung TV + Cyfrowy Polsat HD 3000/HD5500 owners seeing menus-without-picture, this gets your image back fast.

Quick Facts

Why do I see the channel name and menu but no video from my Polsat HD 3000?

That pattern points to a decoder issue rather than the antenna. The HDMI path works because on-screen bars and menus appear. One report showed 90% strength and 65% quality with black video on every channel. Start with a full reboot. [Elektroda, mycek2012, post #18067856]

Whats the fastest fix for menus-without-picture?

Power-cycle the set-top box to clear a hang.
  1. Unplug the decoder from power for several seconds.
  2. Reseat HDMI or move to another HDMI port.
  3. Power on the TV, then the decoder. "CP tuners like to hang." [Elektroda, flinc, post #18068321]

Should I change the decoders output resolution (1080/720/576)?

Yes. Switch between 1080, 720, and 576 in Picture and Sound settings. This can trigger a new HDMI handshake. Some users reported the image appearing after a resolution change. It is a quick, reversible test. [Elektroda, flinc, post #18068310]

If the menu shows, is resolution mismatch still likely?

It is unlikely. If resolution were unsupported, the menu would not display either. Focus on rebooting and HDMI reconnection first. [Elektroda, sosarek, post #18068318]

How do I check if antenna signal is the problem?

Open antenna settings on the decoder and read the two bars. One case showed 90% strength and 65% quality, yet every channel was black. That points away from cabling or dish alignment. Troubleshoot the decoder and HDMI path first. [Elektroda, mycek2012, post #18067856]

Does the HDMI cable or port matter?

Yes. Confirm you are using HDMI on the new TV and try another HDMI port or cable. Also compare how the old TV was connected. Swapping cables or ports can instantly restore picture. [Elektroda, Polon_us, post #18067727]

Another decoder works on the same TV. Is my HD 3000 faulty?

Yes, that comparison isolates the fault to your decoder. The poster noted another decoder worked while theirs did not on the same Samsung TV. Request an exchange if reboots and HDMI changes do not help. [Elektroda, mycek2012, post #18067707]

How common are replacements or hangs with Polsat HD 3000/HD5500?

User reports indicate repeated exchanges. One user wrote they were exchanging their HD3000 or HD5500 "for the fifth time." That suggests intermittent reliability issues requiring swaps. If your unit repeats the failure, seek a replacement. [Elektroda, bumble, post #18067728]

Can the issue resolve itself after being off for a while?

Yes. The original poster turned the TV and decoder back on later, and the picture returned. That behavior is consistent with a temporary decoder hang. A deliberate power-cycle replicates this effect on demand. [Elektroda, mycek2012, post #18068303]

Should I test the decoder on another TV to isolate the fault?

Yes. Testing the same box on another TV confirms if the issue follows the decoder. The poster planned this isolation step during troubleshooting. It is a fast way to separate TV versus decoder causes. [Elektroda, mycek2012, post #18067856]

Does a longer power-off help more than a quick restart?

Yes. Users reported success after turning off power and waiting several dozen seconds before restarting. Allow capacitors to discharge and HDMI to renegotiate. This deeper reset often restores both video and audio. [Elektroda, bumble, post #18068339]

Do multiroom or DiSEqC setups change the fix?

Users with multiroom and DiSEqC switches still reported needing reboots or replacements. One setup used HD5500 with three LNBs and required multiple exchanges. The black-screen fix remains the same: reboot, reseat HDMI, then consider replacement. [Elektroda, flinc, post #18068496]
