I have recently purchased a 2000t and am having issues with the set up. My TV works fine with the aerial plugged in, yet when I plug the aerial into the back of the 2000t - select HDMI - I get a 'no signal' I then retune the TV but get no channels found.... Any clever people out there who can help?

Starting from scratch - apologies if I'm telling you what you already know:
Connect the aerial lead from the wall to the 2000T's aerial input.
Connect a fly lead from the 2000T's "aerial out" to the TV.
Connect the HDMI cable from the 2000T to the TV.
Choose the 2000T as source.
Go through the 2000T setup, including tuning. (See manual)

Thanks for that, but I didn't think I needed any other connection to the TV other than the HDMI cable, or is this a belt a braces set up?

To use the TV while the HDR2000T is in sby you need to turn off the low power sby option.

Up to you. If you don't want to be able to watch TV using the tuner in your TV set, you can do without the flylead. But in that case it's no use trying to tune the TV because, as you've seen, it won't be able to find any channels.
The HDMI cable passes the picture and sound from the 2000T to the TV. If you wish, you can rely entirely on the 2000T, which, since it has two tuners, may well be sufficient.
But if you do want to use the TV's tuner, you need the flylead so that the TV's tuner can receive the signal (it gets passed on from the 2000T).

Thanks again. As I cannot use the 2000t at the moment as the TV does not receive a signal via the HDMI cable then I will give this a go.

Is this not happening?

I selected HDMI as the source (there isn't an option for 2000T) but keep getting 'The receiver is not receiving a signal or the signal is too weak. I had the set-up working elsewhere and have even taken it back to the store who set it up in the shop and it was all in order.

Worth checking the aerial lead is well seated.

I believe the 2000T requires the latest firmware for the pass-thru to work!
