XG1v4 Jumping to 4k Resolution

Starting last night, my box keeps going to 4k resolution. I have a 4k TV, but use an HDMI Extender that does not. As a result, it keeps knocking my picture out.

If it is not on 1080p in device settings on the box then my picture is gone.

Why is the box suddenly changing my video settings in the box?

Never had this issue for 2 years with this box.

Your suggestion worked for me for about four or five days. Buuuuuuuuut … I just turned on my system today and had to manually switch it back to 4K. I set it back to 4K and will monitor it to see how long it "sticks".

It has been working fine for me too until earlier today, something was out of sync. When I powered on the receiver the tv didn’t power on and when I got it to come on the cable box settings were changed to 1080p.

I manually set the resolution back to 2160 4K. I shut off the HDMI setting n the cable box that put it in standby.
Will continue to watch too.

I had the same problem. My TV didn't turn on so at the same time as my receiver so I had to turn it on separtely and found my X1 box had reverted back to 1080p.

Good afternoon all. Thank you all for your input on this. For those that are still experiencing this issue with the resolution defaulting back to a different preference, please confirm your model of 4K cable box that is being used. Thanks!

So I have had the issue for months of having to manually set the 4K setting each day as it defaults to 1080p. But....as of Nov 1..and without changing any settings,  I have noticed that the setting is now staying in 4K. No going back to 1080p default. So my guess is there was a firmware update for me around Nov 1.

Give it a few more days. I think most of us have seen between 3 and 5 days without the resolution reverting at one point or another. If it lasts a week or more that could be something new.
