Thanks Barry for the info. What I will do (as Sony Bravia flat screen as notorious apparently) is try a factory reset with it and then if that doesn't work, i will try what you have just suggested. Will let you know the outcome.

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.Cheers Barry, that's good news,
I've seen a few 1800/2000T posts with hdmi problems and I was never too sure whether people were picking 1080p which would be the natural choice for best resolution and clearly the wrong resolution in hindsight if the screen isn't capable.I think you've proved with your tests that the lower and better resolution, for some screens, choices stick so if anybody still has problems after picking 720p or 1080i following a factory reset then it can only be down to a fundamental hdmi handshaking issue with a particular screen/display that no amount of tweaking will fix
thanks again

Well I can't factory reset the tv despite following instructions so I am at a loss. My tv will display 1080 so no need to downgrade to 720 which I did try to no avail.

Ok, I was successful this time from this instruction

After a factory reset I go to HDMI in menu and it still fails to detect any HDMI inputs despite the tv taking 1080i. So near and yet so far

Strange that you cannot get a picture with the humax set at lower resolution(s) via HDMI
Any possibility of trying on a different TV - this to prove unit HDMI output is not if fact faulty, otherwise I am at a loss.

I haven't tried a lower resolution with the Humax because I want it to match the tv 1080 resolution. I will try it now though. I also got this message when trying to view the HD channels.
"the programme cannot be viewed via HDMI connection because your tv does not support digital content protection(HDCP). Disconnect the HDMI cable and connect the Scart or composite video connector to watch the programme in standard resolution"
Funny enough, even after this message I can still see the channel's picture which looks exactly the same as the sd channels.

Ok, tried to change the resolution and it's greyed out at 1080That normally means your TV is reporting that it can't do 1080i using EDID data interchange.

Shouldn't be an issue with a Sony Bravia.
However note your TV resolution is 1366 x 768 pixels so you won't ever see 1080 lines on it. Some HD Ready TV's look better at 720P, but it seems you can't get HDCP handshake at any resolution.
As Barry says, need to
Try box on another TV
Try another 1080i source on the TV.
