Thanks Graham
Basically the same set-up as ours except we have an XBOX instead of the Fox and Blueray pugged to our Yamaha AV and no fancy Cat 6 link.
The 5000T has Power Saving Mode set of OFF at the moment - will change that.
The RF out on the 5000T is now useless with the signal attenuator on the input as the TV's Freeview tuner can now see no channels so this will be removed and alternatively wired.
The power on/off is the same as yours but for 05:00 to 06:00.
Might be worth setting the same times as me as not sure what time overnight housekeeping takes place. After much experimentation found for some reason housekeeping deletes the cached epg. As a result the epg refresh needs to be after housekeeping has deleted the cached epg.
Recommend you buy a flat cat 6 cable long enough to reach the remote TV. You get stereo sound and 1080p 50 pictures. On our 24" FULL HD Kitchen TV the pictures are excellent. A massive improvement over a PAL modulator.
I didn't mention this but I have a HDMI Matrix switch wired into my system that lets me send any of the connected Kit to the Kitchen TV independently of the lounge main TV. So the better half can watch her own recordings. As a result only 1 input to the amp is required with the main zone output only needed.
Flat Cat 6 cable is very easy to run.
I might be persuaded to create a connections diagram.
This is the switch that makes it all possible

What Yamaha AV receiver have you got ? Mine has only one main zone output which with the above switch isn't an issue
My grandson connects a HD games console to the front AV Input which can also be sent in Full HD to the Remote TV and the local TV.
