Ok, when i go into settings under your guidance there is only reference to scart, not HDMI. In fact, when I turn on the Humax I get the message that the programme cannot be viewed via HDMI because your tv does not support digital content protection HDCP . Disconnect the HDMI and connect the scart to watch in standard resolution.

Having just checked, with scart connection the HDMI settings are 'greyed out' - apologies for misleading you.
How old is the TV?

It is hard to tell as it was given to us around 4 years ago by friends. I would say around 5-7 years old.

having a look at the back I have a Sony KDL-32U3000 made 01/2007 if that helps.

I have only just found out that it is a HD tv ! I never knew that. So why does it fail to detect HDMI out from my Humax ? It's so frustrating because I have never seen it's HD working. I can only get sound from my Humax and DVD home cinema system when I unplug both SCART cables. The HDMI just doesn't work despite the tv having 2 x inputs. I can't access the HUmax menu in settings as I have no picture.

#Barry
as there are quite a few older model screens still around that only work up to 1080i is it possible on the 2000T after a factory reset to set the resolution for 1080i or 720p and it sticks or does the screen have to be capable of 1080p?
In the past I've had nothing but trouble with hdmi handshaking on my Humaxes with some displays that I don't have with any other hdmi equipment, I seem to remember that the 1800/2000T will only ever work properly as people would expect with 1080p from previous posts; however I assumed that after a factory reset a sensible resolution, i.e. 720p or 1080i could be chosen, but I can't see anything in the FAQ's for it and if the 2000T will only ever work with 1080p then the OP is flogging a dead horse.

Non compliance with 1080p on HD Ready displays actually refers to 1080p24, 1080p50 or 1080p60. In this case the output is 1080p25 or 1080i50 both 25 fps so I guess there shouldn't be an issue. Freeview-HD actually switches between the two 25 fps options on the fly. The HDR FOX T2 offers 576i, 720p, 1080i and 1080p over hdmi, I imagine the newer boxes will be the same.

@ damian - Have been waiting for a unit to become available to try a few things including your suggestions (been tied up on other tests)
1. The default after a reset with HDMI connected is 1080i, with only Scart 576i but this can be changed during the set up process.
2. Just did following, scart only connected, factory reset and changed resolution to 720p during set up process, completed set up, removed scart and inserted HDMI, unit booted and resolution still 720p.
3. The OP is probably sick to death of this now, but might be worth having a go as per para 2 see if you can then get a picture via HDMI.
