    My TV only has DVI out. However, since connecting the red/white RCA plugs from Humax to TV the problem appears to have ceased.

    I have never seen a TV with DVI out. What would it be used for, where would it get a DVI video source ?. DVI has the same video inputs as HDMI so has identical performance. All you need is a HDMI to DVI lead or a HDMI in to DVI out adaptor.

    It surely must be a HD input but lacking digital audio. Invariably there is a 3.5mm stereo audio in associated with DVI sockets which would allow full HD video combined with stereo analogue audio.

    How are you managing to get the TV to give you a High Definition video input and combine it with analogue audio ?

    I think I am suffering from the placebo effect. My TV has Digital Sound out, not in, and now I realise that the RCA cables are having no effect because they are associated with the Component inputs and are not active when using the HDMI inputs. The fact is, the problem seems to have gone and possibly all the cable ins and outs may have improved a suspect connection.

    That's the sort of problem I like, a self fixing one. Out of interest does your TV actually have a DVI video in socket (often provided to connect a computer) ? It will look like the DVI port on HDTV pictured here.

    Thanks for your help, and the problem still seems to have disappeared. My TV does not have a DVI in socket, just 2 x HDMI, Scart and Component.

    Short update, I bought a new cable and the problem has disappeared completely.
