    Just bought Humax DTR2000. Trying to link my LG tv to the remote, found that several of the codes listed in the Humax set up instructions actual work and allow me to use the Humax rcu to operate the tv except the volume control which when I press that it registers as this function disabled, anyone gor any suggestions?

    You should be able to use the TV volume controls to control the volume on the YouView box, unless you're sending the YouView sound elsewhere (such as a receiver).

    Just been playing around with it again, still find I have to switch remote to tv to activate volume control. Because I found that a number of different codes that Humax listed actually allowed me to operate the RCU but not adjust the volume whilst in PVR could it be that I still haven't found the correct code for my RCU - hence limited functuality? - ps I am non-technic!, which is why I didn't understand the first reply.

    Wouldn't have thought so. You could play around with the other codes you found, see if any of those allow you to adjust the YouView volume independently of the TV.

    The sound from the YouView box goes over the HDMI cable to the TV speakers. Hence the volume can be adjusted using the TV volume controls. If that's not convenient, maybe buy a programmable remote?

    solquest - have you checked that you're able to adjust the volume when using the actual YouView remote?

    What a good forum! Acted on advice and found setting was set at surround, changed to stereo and bingo volume control now works ok.
    Still trying to work out other functions on the remote, ie text doesn't seem to be working on pvr but I'll see how it goes. Thanks again.

    You're welcome.

    A soft reboot (as described on that page) might help with random YouView weirdnesses like the text button not working.
