Depends where you are starting from. With unit fully on. Timed at 5.98 seconds.
I have a AVR in the system so a double handshake is required. A direct cable to the TV should be faster. I would try a new hdmi cable and/or a different port on the TV.
I will have to put the unit in low power sby and time to picture from this state. I will add the time when I have it. Need to let box go into full sby and not have a recording due to start.
If you have auto set the box wakes up to watch for the broadcaster to signal the programme start. In this condition the box is virtually fully on but with no video or audio output. Pressing the power button will boot in a few seconds.
Afterthought. The first boot of the day will always take longer because the cached epg is deleted overnight and it’s quite slow to load from the current mux data. . Set a power on timer BBC1-HD 0800 max volume. With a power off at 08:15 to avoid this delay. So without this my box will be a lot faster than yours if you are timing the first boot. Subsequent ones should be a lot faster.
Started from sby in around 6 seconds.
If you have already booted your box today. Shut it down and try again. If not boot it and wait for the picture. Then shut it down and try again.
Thank you grahamlthompson.I have started the 5000t from standby several times during the day,using two different leads and all the three HDMI ports on my TV,and they all took a similar time to activate.So it seems the Humax is designed to work this way.Once again thanks for your help.
