    Welcome to the Forum

    Do you mean using TV internal tuner, if so:

    1. Have you connected a loop thru cable from the HDR T2 rf output to the TV.

    2. RF loop thru only works if you have switched off power saving in standby on the HDR T2..

    Menu
    Settings
    System
    Power Management

    Could be faulty patch cable from Humax to TV. If you pull both coax connections from the Humax and connect together does the TV then work OK ?

    Graham is suggesting as a test you remove the aerial in and out leads from the Humax and connect them together so that the aerial feed goes direct to the TV. If that doesn't work then the problem must be the aerial lead from the Humax to the TV.

    Did you use both cables to connect the aerial to the TV, or just remove the aerial lead from the Humax and put it into the TV ? If you unplug both coax connections from the Humax they will plug into each other (one is male and the other female).

    Have you got two coax cables one from the aerial to the Humax rf in and a second from the Humax rf out to the TV ?. Connecting by scart or hdmi will only let you see the Humax pictures. The TV's tuners need an aerial feed as well as the Humax tuners.

    Have you connected the two coax cables together as originally posted ?

    Remove scart cable and hdmi cable.

    Leave the coax cable from the box to the TV connected to the TV and unplug it from the Humax, unplug the aerial cable from the Humax and connect the two plugs together. Can you use the TV. Now re-connect the two cables to the Humax. Can you still use the TV ? Boot up the box, can you still use the TV ?

    Put the box in sby. Connect up the hdmi cable and boot the box. Can you now see the Humax picture, if so the TV is auto selecting the hdmi port. To watch the TV you have to select the TV tuners. Power down the box, remove the hdmi cable and connect a scart cable. Power up the box, can you see the Humax, power down the box can you use the TV.
