Since the beginning I had blackouts both on my UHD TV and on the displays of the PSVR headset when using the PlayStation VR with the PlayStation 4 Pro.
Looks like others also suffer from this problem and it also seems it is somehow Pro specific, as it does not seem to happen with plain PS4. I tried lots of things like reducing HDCP to 1.4 or setting the resolution explicitly to HD (although UHD doesn’t seem to be passed through the PSVR processor box anyway). I even replaced the whole PSVR which didn’t help either.
Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

After trying everything which came to my mind for another bunch of hours, I finally found a workaround, which works for me.
My TV has several HDMI ports, some of them capable of 4K, some only capable of HD. I always had the PS4Pro/PSVR combo plugged into a 4K port, because initially I had in mind that the PlayStation 4 Pro is capable of producing 4K.
So what I did now is plugging to a HDMI port on my TV which is plain HD (non-4k, non-UHD). This seems to solve (or rather workaround) the blackout problem. As the PSVR processor box cannot pass 4K anyway (which I did not know from the start), this is not an additional drawback.
