How to get TV reception signal on TV via Humax 9300?

I have a Humax 9300 PVR.

I have a new TV with a Freeview HD tuner.

If I connect the aerial directly into the TV all is well, I get the channels etc.

If I connect the aerial to the Humax and then use a scart to connect to the TV, I can see material from the Humax on the TV.

But if the PVR is on standby, the TV claims that it's getting "No Signal" and I can't watch any ordinary, real time TV.

What am I doing wrong? I'm not a techy - so simple explanations please!

How do I get the aerial signal through to the TV?

Welcome to the Forum

Switch off power saving in standby:

Menu, Preferences, Misc Settings, item 6 Power Saving in Standby

You need to turn off power saving in standby. I don't have a 9300 but it should be fairly obvious in the menus.

EDIT SNAP

I've turned off the power saving on standby.

My TV is still claiming it's not getting a signal with the PVR is on standby.

Any thoughts?

And thanks for the speedy replies!

If you haven't already got one, you will need a short loop of coax from the Humax aerial out (TV/VCR) to the TV aerial in.

Thanks, much appreciated.

I'll give that a try. I wondered if I needed more wire!

Coax cable now plugged in - problem solved.

Thanks to all.
