    Can anybody help please?

    My TV cannot receive a signal when the Humax HDR Fox T2 is switched off.

    Only when the Humax is operating can I receive pictures but even then we tend to use channels in the 800 range as picture quality for stations such as ITV and BBC suffer from bad pixilation when on channel 1, 2, 3 etc.

    I can receive perfect pictures if I just connect the TV to the wall aerial socket but as soon as we connect the aerial lead from the wall socket to the Humax and then an aerial lead to the TV we have problems so we have to have the Humax on all the time we watch TV.

    We had a similar problem some time ago and after a lot of effort it resolved itself. However since I last retuned the equipment for additional stations etc the problem has reappeared.

    Any suggestions please?

    You need to change the setting Power saving in standby from on to off.

    This suggests the box is not tuned correctly and as well as poor picture you may also experience problems with accurate recording features. There are two options: either manually tune using the instructions at Manual tuning FAQ or if the software version used by the box is earlier than 1.02.32 then update it using the download from Link to Humax download site which greatly improves tuning performance.

    That was brilliant information. Many thanks. So far all so good.

    We have done everything you told us and it appears to have resolved our problems.

    Many thanks indeed.

    One small thing you may wish to include on the Manual Tuning FAQ is that by passing the cursor over the channels in the grey columns it will show which which channel is for HD and if they should be on default DVB-T or DVB- T2.

    Anyway thank you again for your time. Very much appreciated.

    Regards

    The HD multiplex is indicated in the pink header bar so I don’t think there is any need to add any more detail in the instructions.
