I took delivery of a replacement unit yesterday 18/1 and worked for the whole evening. Which is nice. However it hums like mad dependant on how much white or brightness is on the TV screen at the time. When the scene on the TV goes to a brighter or darker scene you can hear the hum change volume and/or pitch!

To be fair to Humax your contract under the sale of goods act is with the supplier not Humax.
When the goods are found to be faulty it is the suppliers responsibility to replace them and /or deal with any queries.Sorry, but you are wrong. The manufacturer AND the seller are equally responsible for the quality of the item purchased. The purchaser has the right to go back to either if the goods appear faulty.

The Sale of Goods Act 979, amended in 1994, say that when you buy goods from a trader they must fit the description, be of satisfactory quality - which includes lasting a reasonable length of time - and be fit for their purpose. If goods aren't of satisfactory quality you're entitled to compensation, which is normally the cost of repairs. The retailer, not the manufacturer, is legally obliged to sort out a problem if the goods don't meet these requirements.
A manufacturer's one-year guarantee is in addition to these rights - many offer free repair or replacement without quibble. Extended warranties are an extension of this.

and hundreds of other locations.
Under UK law a manafacturer does not even have to offer a warranty. If they do it's in addition to your rights under SOGA.
