    The only issue was that onscreen graphics were not displayed on the analogue outputs when the HDMI connection was present. There were no stability or colour problems.

    There was a rumour that they were going to fix this, so maybe the "fix" has caused a problem!

    I derive a composite signal from the HDMI so I don't have anything connected to the SCART and haven't noticed any of these problems.

    I have just had feedback from Humax ref RGB problem. I still use a CRT TV with Scart & reported the problem to them + also sent them a DVD video showiing the problem a few weeks ago. Well, today, their technical team/customer service dept have agreed that their is an issue. It was suggested that I simply switched box off for 1min 30 sec & all would be ok (!!). This is not acceptable & I am currently awaiting further feedback from Humax as I reply to this forum, as at today 10th Dec 2013. I think the problem has not been reported enough simply because most consumers use HDMI only & may not be aware of fault. Even so, RGB scart can also be used if connected to DVD recorder for copying recordings. You have to keep going into the menu to set RGB back to CBVS & then back to RGB & it resets itself until the next time! It is not the fault of the TV - I have tried PVR on various TVs & all do the same thing. My other Humax 9200 & 9300 never had thsi problem. Anyone else reading this, please test your box by switching off (not unplugging) & back on straight away & you will get same problem with RGB picture display on your TV. You can clearly see problem if you look at EPG & Menus: fuzzy or clear with RGB. If you do, PLEASE conatct Humax directly. I am sure with enough complaints they will take notice more!

    Well I've finally had enough of RGB SCART even for occasional viewing (HDR Fox T2 is my primary box) and it seems obvious this HDCP problem isn't going to be fixed in a software update. So I've ordered a box that strips HDCP, hopefully that should restore my picture. It's very annoying when supposed copy protection systems cause loss of picture, and I have no qualms about the legality of what I'm doing. I'm not actually copying anything, just making it work again.

    Got a link?

    If this turns out to be the problem, I will be furious.

    The device I've ordered is this:

    http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B004F9LVXC/ref=pe_385721_37038051_TE_3p_dp_1

    Note it comes with a US power adaptor, but I believe it runs off 5V dc so I'm planning to power it from the DTR-T1000's rear USB or my TV's side USB to avoid yet another permanently powered small device.

    The booting screen always works, this does not use HDCP. Once the box is fully up and switches resolution the HDCP is active which is when things start to go wrong. It started in the software update that implemented HDMI CEC so they may have fiddled with other HDMI stuff.

    Handy to have a second HDMI output as well. Note that it has a UK compatible power supply, just a US plug.

    I've been told Sony don't implement HDCP correctly so technically it may be my TV at fault not the DTR-T1000. But I've had an Arcam DVD player, Oppo blu ray player and Humax HDR Fox T2 all work fine so clearly the Sony issues can be dealt with and I blame the DTR-T1000.

    Interesting device; let us know how it works.

    Why do you think it will strip HDCP ? Splitters can be very picky, and in fact you are likely to introduce two handshakes instead of one. Box to splitter, splitter to TV.
