Probably a newby question but I have been frustrated trying to reset my WDTV. After disconnecting it and reconnecting the picture keeps scrolling down . Would this be the T.V. or the W.D. box. Everthing worked great before . The only other change is I have installed windows 10 .
How is it connected to your TV ? … if it’s via Composite (Yellow, Red, White) you may have changed the video mode when you reset it (via the reset hole) PAL / NTSC
these are just guess’s … because you haven’t provide much info
If you’re connected to the TV via HMDI … then the above does not apply
In that case, try another HDMI cable and or Input or another TV

Hi joey thanks for the reply.
Connection is composite.
I did try resetting ,maybe I have reset to NTSC as you suggested.
Will try resetting again.
If I use the S/PDIF cord should I disconnect the audio composite leads?
if you are USA then yes … NTSC
if you are Europe then … PAL
If I use the S/PDIF cord should I disconnect the audio composite leads?
It will make no difference … you can leave both connected (when you need SPDIF out … Select Digital Passthrough for Optical in the Setup > Audio/Video menu settings
Thanks again joey.
Will try the options tonight…
Tried the reset and twice the picture stopped skipping only to continue after a couple of seconds .
The power button is not always responsive but that was a feature previously.
i’m not sure i understand this whole “slipping and skipping” business?
I understand if the picture is “Vertically Rolling” (which i asume is what you mean)
(which happened in my old days of CRT and trying a NTSC signal on my PAL Tv … which i would assume would happen if PAL signal on an NTSC Tv)
all i can suggest, is trying a different TV … or even film a short video of the problem and upload it to youtube, if i’ve misunderstood what you’ve meant.
Yes.Vertically Rolling would be the correct terminology.
Sounds a good idea to try a different T.V. to determine if the problem actually lies with the box or the T.V
Will try that.
Thanks.
