As Graham stated it will be 'Viera Link' and you should be able to toggle it in the TV's menu. i.e. if it was off try switching it on and vice-versa. Contrary to Graham's advice, I'd have viera-link switched off and use hdmi-1, however a lot of this is trial and error. I wouldn't worry about the quality of the hdmi lead unless you think it's been damaged in some way. If you had a previous FoxSat it really should have been as simply as swapping it over and setting up.
You definitely don't want to be constantly pluging/unpluging the hdmi lead. The hdmi socket isn't designed for this and the socket will fail over time.
My partner has a similar panasonic from a similar age. The use of which isn't logical. With her panasonic, the TV has to be tuned into the aerial signal before it will auto switch over to hdmi.
i.e. the TV is switched on, it very briefly shows terrestial TV from its internal tuner and then auto switches over to hdmi. If the TV is not tuned or the aerial lead unplugged it will not switch over to hdmi automatically, it simply remains on a blank screen. I tried every permutation, it simply would not auto switch to hdmi without it first successfully checking its own internal tuner, which in our case was achieved by simply connecting the aerial fly lead back into the TV and retuning.
If you only have a Satellite connection then this isn't possible and no easy way to test. The TV is on the latest software/firmware which hasn't changed for years. It'd be worthwhile checking the panasonic support to see if they have a newer software/firmware version for your model.
Unfortunately in the absence of another user with a 32LXD85 and a 1100S who may have been able to shed more light, you're left with a bit of trial and error.
I also came across this:

basically you should be able to force the TV to start up exactly how you want, but double check everything before making any changes.
let us know how you get on
