    i got a refurbished Humax Foxsat HDR 500gb grade A(?!) direct from Humax a couple of weeks ago, installed it yesterday as my Sky was due to disconnect over the weekend.

    from the start i noticed intermittent interference on the screen, at worst probably 10 times per minute. can only be described as a very thin static or sometimes dark line that flashes across the screen. never saw this on my Pace Sky HD box or any other digital box from Sky. this interference is also captured on any recordings.

    i have...

    checked the F Plugs, both properly wired and shielded.
    have no phone line etc near the box.
    tried 2 different HDMI cables
    plugged the humax into its own separate wall socket
    quad LNB was replaced by Sky 6 months ago
    don't see this interference on any other devices connected
    to my LG plasma (media player, Wii).

    any advice is mucho appreciated

    I've not heard of this problem. Does your LG run Freesat? If yes then you could attach the same cable from the Humax to the TV to determine if its the Humax or not?

    narrowed it down to a prob with one of the HDMI ports on my LG plasma. the one i had been using for sky (which never gave an issue) and then the foxsat, was causing the interference. switched over to the other HDMI port on the TV a few days ago, and picture has been clear since, fingers crossed.
