Hi,
I purchased an HDI Fox T 2 yesterday and have connected it to my Panasonic Viera TX-L32G10B and although I initially used the HDMI lead I found that the picture quality was not as good through the Fox as without it, also the sound had to be set really high for the same volume. I have now changed to the scart lead and have connected the aerial out to the TV so that the TV can be used with the Fox in standby. Any ideas on improving picture quality would be appreciated, I have tried 1080 I and P no improvement,
Regards,
Chris

Panasonics have, I think, picture quality settings for each input source. Did you adjust the settings on the TV for the HDMI port you used? It is quite normal to have the volume on the Humax set to near maximum; it is the way all Humax kit I have used seems to be designed to work.

I have an oldish sony TV that only copes with 1080i and not 1080p and to me I can hardly see a difference between SD and HD. My signal strenth is 75-85% and the quality is 100% what do you get? As for sound I have my Humax turned up full and use the TV to change the volume. I use a HMMI lead, just a £2 not anything fancy.

Hi,
I GIVE UP, watching tv with fox on standby, picture starts breaking up...switch on fox, 10 mins later picture colour keeps altering. Switch all off, plug aerial into TV no problem. Put it all back in the box and take it back on monday "rejected as ubfit for purpose"
Tell me honestly, is this a one off, these scored well on the which report so I bought one but I don't know if I want another,

Hi,
I had turned off the power saving when I found I could not watch with the pvr in standby,the other problems occured after, all I really want to do is record the odd program and I'm not really interested in all the other "features" and when I hear of people downloading auto updates and everything freezing etc I start to worry,
Regards,
Chris

Could you quote numbers for signal strength and quality as reported by the Humax?

Hi,
Can't give you actual figures as its back in its box but as I recall strebgth was 100% and quality was 80%. Panasonic gives signal strength 10 out of 10, I'll let you know what happens,
