New K55XR80PU picture freeze's and sound still playing

My new TV that’s just over a month old has froze twice this weekend, the picture just stops but the sound continues playing. The Tv is then not responsive at all and has to be switched off at the wall.

 

anyone experienced this or know if there is a fix? Don’t want to have to return the TV 😢

I’m on my second TV as the first one did exactly the same, froze or turned off but only while watching Virgin TiVo on HDMI 1. 

I did  a full factory reset on the first one and before I could set everything again it restarted again. The new one has been fine until the last week when it’s frozen 3 times in one day and powered off and on again today. 

If it’s cache then surely it’s not doing garbage collections if this is causing some kind of out of memory issue. 

it’s the same model as everyone else. Bought from  Currys.
