It has been reported by other users that powering up the Humax from standby (when it is recording) does not setup the HDMI handshaking properly, The suggested 'fixes' are not very satisfactory, they include .... 1) Get the latest software on the Humax (which you have already done), 2) Get newer software on your T.V. (usually not available), . . . . . . . . . 3) Use a scart lead as it's only the HDMI connection that is at fault (better than nothing but not ideal), Sorry for the dissapointing reply

Thank you very much, that was information I have not heard before.
I will see if there is any update for the TV, and if not then try a scart lead.

One last bit of info. it has also been reported that having an HDMI and a scart connected from the Humax to your TV at the same time can sometimes cause problems, It will probably be O.K. but if you start getting Green screens or black screens when first turning on the Humax (HDMI sync. failure) remove the scart and try again

Will using scart mean when a pre set recording starts it will change the TV source to the channel being recorded?
Which is not ideal.

Yes I'm afraid it will (although it shouldn't), You can avoid this by cutting pin 8 of the scart, But this will stop any future auto switching to that scart lead permanently
