I notice that TV input display shows PC as a connected device, while PC does not show TV as being connected. This suggests that there is no fault with the HDMI cable, the problem is in the PC.

I can't now find the shorter cable, which is a mystery. Does anybody have any further suggestions?

I moved home four months ago. In my previous home I occasionally used the TV as a second monitor for my PC. As the distance between PC and TV is now more than in my old home, I today bought a longer...

Re recommendation to post Boot Info summary. I ran 'recommended repair' but all it does is refer me to paste2.org, which is not a boot info summary. Do you mean to change partition booted to sda5,...

Please ignore my previous message. My issue is now resolved. When I ran boot repair before, I failed to set partition booted by MBR to the Ubuntu partition.

I ran fixparts and e2fsck commands as recommended, and ensured fast start up in Windows is turned off, but still no GRUB menu. Here is a screenshot from live DVD:
