I have a Humax STB HDR-1100S with Freesat and a Sony KDL-40WE663 with Freeview HD
Can someone confirm that if I have the STB switched on you can’t switch to the TV and watch the HD channels.
I have to turn off the Humax box before I can watch the HD channels on Freeview.
Or am I doing something wrong with the setup on either of them?
Thanks for any assist.
Presumably you have tried changing the ‘input’ to TV?
Sound possible that CEC is holding the input to the box. Switch off CEC on the box or the TV?
Does that model Humax have any options to turn antenna power (5v) on/off?
Does the TV have these options?
Symptoms suggest that you may already have a powered antenna amplifier inline somewhere, this may be taking its power from the TV or from a dedicated psu. When the Humax is powered up, if its also sending 5v into the coax, the system will overload.

Why would a Freesat box be connected to the aerial cable? Would it not go direct to the TV?
I had to find out what “CEC” was and then I found Bravia Sync Settings.
I’ve switched it off and it seems to have done the job.
Unfortunately now I can’t control the Sony blu ray player with the TV remote control.
I guess because they are both Sony products they ARE CEC compatible.
I’ve also searched on the Humax box but there’s nothing about CEC settings.
Thanks Trev.

If you fit this cec removal adaptor to the Humax HDMI cable you should be able to turn CEC back on on the TV. (it disables the pin used for cec control)
Thanks Graham. Just bought it.
Tried to find a full hdmi cec-less cable but I couldn’t find one
I thought it might be cheaper than just the adapter!
Thanks guys for all the advise and the link.

Not knowing the model, I assumed from the wording of the original post, that it was a Freeview box with the antenna daisychained through to the TV 😳
Like the title said “Humax Freesat box” and the first line of the first post said “I have a Humax STB HDR-1100S with Freesat “.
My brain only saw Freeview, lol.
Plus, the symptoms exactly replicated a problem a mate was having a while ago, that was eventually traced to a powered antenna amp he didn’t know had been installed and was powered from a psu plugged into a socket in the attic.

That happens to me as well. With me, I think it’s an age thing. What’s your excuse?

Have you attempted to change the ‘Source’ using the TV’s remote control when this happens? That should work.
On the remote control that I think comes with your TV it’s the top left button which is labelled with an arrow going into a rectangle. Use that button to select “TV”.
