Blank Screen
I've gone to switch TV on, the YV box appears to be up and running but my screen is blank. I have a smart TV so have gone into Home Dashboard/Inputs, selected HDMI2 (which is the one YV is on) and I can use the TV remote and watch through the little tiny screen. I'm presuming this means the HDMI cable works and TV doesn't need tuning.
I have removed all cables and re-inserted, rebooted the YV box, the router, the TV and the wifi booster box.
Any ideas please.

I had a similar issue with my BluRay player and I had to go through the connection process again and realised i had missed a step when doing so initially.
If I had to guess, I would say that CEC (SIMPLINK on LGs) isn’t enabled on the TV, or it isn’t working with the YouView box (which has CEC you can’t turn off, but it is a bit patchy whether it works or not).
So it wasn’t enough for the magic remote to turn on the YouView box - although it was doing that, as you could see through the peephole - it also needed to switch the TV to the HDMI2 input as part of the same command stream.
Something your ‘two hours of messing’ achieved; but if you have to do it again, perhaps useful to know what the mechanism is.
