What I really hate is when I search for a problem I’ve seen off and on for a few years and the search results is exactly the issue im experiencing.

Great!

Only to find out after chasing that link that it was me who posted that question, 4 years ago, and it’s still unanswered.

I had an issue years ago with a tv and a dvd player. For whatever reason, whenever the dvd player was connected, the tv would blank out every few seconds. At some point I posted on the tv manufacturer forums. I did eventually figured out that I leave a thumb drive connected to the tv, the problem disappeared. I wanted to let people know about my work around. I got 1 result -- the forum post I had made quite a while back.

I'm pretty sure it was an HDCP issue.

What would be even more wild is if you edited/replied to yourself and said, "nvm figured it out"...only to later discover it and not remember what you did
