And passive splitter what is that can you link to one please?

Okay I have one of those somewhere but cannot see why I would need it, or where I would fit it?
Currently the HDR 1800T is connected to the Samsung TV and that is the one that freezes. Turned on the TV this morning and until I switched the PVR off and on again I was stuck on some image from one channel.
The HDR 200T is connected to a Hisense LTDN40K321UWTS and this is the one that can drop sound.

Remove the TV feed from the PVR and connect to one output of the splitter. Using another coax patch lead connect the other output of the spitter to the pvr aerial in.

Can you explain why connecting the PVR to the TV is better this way than the normal connection? Thanks.

No one knows why i.e. whether it was a simple error or whether they were trying to save a few pennies. Anyhow, following lots of complaints Humax come up with a retro-fit software solution/workaround in order to facilitate pass-thru.
I along with others don’t believe it has ever been a perfect solution i.e. it works fine with some setups but can cause problems with others, hence the suggestion of using a splitter.
By using a passive splitter your TV will get an unadulterated signal direct from the aerial, ditto the Humax. When the HDMI handshake takes place this then shouldn’t interfere with the rest of your setup.

Thanks.When the box wakes to make a recording, it disconnects the aerial loopthrough for a short period. If you happen to be watching TV you lose your programme for a short period. Additionally you can save a bit of money by reducing the power consumption of the box when in sby by turning on low power standby. The amplifier used to provide loop through consumes some power. I don't have either box but it may be the fix used to provide the loop through consumes more power than the older HDR-FOX-T2.
