The app (when paired) will wake the Humax every 20 minutes.
From other posts, it appears some TV's can detect this activity and switch source. Could this be what is happening?
A good suggestion. I have now unpaired, but if 'off' I cannot see how it can wake the Humax, unless the Humax knowing it is paired initiates some action, rather than the app doing it.
When this problem occurs I agree that it appears to be the same as switching source (the word 'auto' comes up on the screen), but the 'snowy' screen (because no other source is on, does not give any clues.
The app can be used as a remote control (without complications) if unpaired.
I use the app only for setting recordings, it is quicker and easier than scrolling up/down/left/right in the program guide, so I believe pairing would be essential for that???
To remote control the TV I use the actual Remote Control simply because I am not watching the TV from a place where I cannot see it, so for me the app as a program or box remote control has no use for me (unless I have missed something).
Just as an aside in case it is not clear, the streaming is from the QNAP on the network to the TV direct and not via the Humax (because it fails to recognise many formats). There are no other servers on line.
Having unpaired, I am typing away waiting for the event to occur but it seems OK. I still don't understand music only out of the choice presented by the TV of Music - Video - Photo.
It seems that you've hit the nail on the head and I guess that is why you are a Special Member
I shall now individually turn back the settings I turned off except pairing (crossing fingers).
Thank you for your help and I hope someone knows why music only.
