That message is nothing to worry about.
A factory reset will not delete your recordings unless you specifically select the option to format the hdd.

Thank you for that.

Do you think because I can get the box working via composite cables and not hdmi that it is a TV problem?
I can't understand why though, when I do an Anynet scan it picks up my 4000T box.

Anynet is just recognising that something is plugged in however it may be the case that the video output via hdmi has failed.
Easiest thing to do is the reset and see what happens.

I've tried the box on another TV using hdmi and have the same problem, so I'm guessing it must be the hdmi port.
Does anyone know if these can be repaired/replaced

Many thanks

Unusual problem but I think you have demonstrated that must be the case.

Have you tried resetting yet?
Just because you can get a picture via rca doesn't necessarily mean that the the hdmi port is faulty. It may well be but it's also possible that the operating system has glitched or the resolution is set to something your TV isn't recognising. A reset is often the best cure.

Also, have a look at the TV hdmi settings for enhanced (or something along those lines) and try toggling between on and off.

Done a reset on the 4000T box and on my TV. No change other than working OK via composite cables.
Can't see any TV hdmi enhanced settings. The aspect radio is set to 16:9.

Sorry, I hadn't realised that the TV was from 2008 (so it won't have enhanced hdmi).
So go into the Humax settings and make sure that it isn't set to anything above 720p.
I suggest this because I am guessing that the other TV you have tried the box on may be similar age/specification?
