Component is capable of handling HD content, because it's easily copied kit with component out is rare these days. Normally component uses 3 RCA phono cables for video (A few pvrs had component out on scart, like the Topfield SD pvrs). No Humax box has component out. Not to be confused with composite video which is the lowest quality connection, composite video combines the luminance and chrominance onto a single connection (normally a yellow socket). All scart cables have composite in and out connections. This can cause the shimmering effect you sometimes see on fabrics with a regular pattern, due to cross talk between the luminance and chrominance signals.
Both are analogue connections (A digital component connection is available but it's very rare to find one). HD games consoles usually have component out as well as HDMI. This means they can be used with the first generation of HD TV's which predated HDMI.
HDMI is capable of using CEC control which is what enables the power control, you should be able to turn it off on your TV. This may in fact be the cause of your problems (surprised Humax did not tell you to turn off CEC)
Different makes of TV have different names for CEC control.

If you can't find an option to disable cec on your tV there is a simple adaptor that omits the connection used for CEC from a HDMI cable.
