Thanks Kate, I initally tried all those suggestions as part of troubleshooting as a cable or port problem would seem the likely point of failure.
The same for swapping resolutions - to see if the problem was related to 4k alone and always the problem persisted until the optic box {singular -we only have one) was rebooted.

I do not know what the old software version was, I had at the time just replaced the box for PVR issues so the box, hdmi cable etc were all brand new.
Again sorry for the late reply. I have an anxiety disorder that affects memory and totally forgot about this.....
