    Hi I’ve changed the resolution in the settings menu and now have completely lost the picture! I can’t even get to my recordings

    I think I initially had it on 720 and changed it to 1800 or whatever it is and I now can’t see. Anything. I can’t even get back into the settings menu to change it back to the factory default.

    Tuning in the tv gmgas t worked. Any ideas how I can get it back?

    As helpful as both your posts.

    Would you ring a mechanic and just say “my cars not working” and expect him to be able to help?

    It’s a 4000T

    It’s connected to a Hitachi Tv with a HDMI. I actually can’t believe just changing a resolution has caused such an issue

    I’m just getting a No signal” message now

    Make sure you are on the correct hdmi input on the TV first. Then hold down the + key on the Humax remote and a page will open where you can change the resolution back to 720p.

    Arghhhhh… it didn’t work…

    Any other thoughts?? The tv randomly now switched off after I’ve been messing on with the humax!

    Clearly your TV doesn’t support resolution over 720p.

    Plug the Humax into another (newer?) TV that is 1080 compatible, change the resolution back to 720 then move it back to the Hitachi.

    It’s quite a new tv already…

    My soundbar is also connected and I note that it’s coming on when the humax is powered in..im guessing it’s the CEC thing.?? would that affect the outcome at all or is it all unrelated?

    I need a CTRL ALT DELETE!!!

    OK, that TV is 4k so should be able to display all the resolutions.

    Bare in mind though, when connected to a 4k (2160) TV you will have an option on the 4000t to select 2160 but DONT it doesn’t work and produces a very poor image.

    Check all the hdmi connections and make sure that you are choosing the correct input when you switch the TV on, you won’t be the first or last to think that their Humax is faulty and it turns out the TV is on the wrong input.

    Now you know it can be reset by swapping to another TV (despite it being a frustration), I would try setting it to 1080p again and see what happens.

    I suspect that you previously (inadvertently) set 2160, which on my 4k TV is very poor because the 4000t is not a proper 4k capable machine but your TV may react differently.

    Or, you had set a very low resolution and your TV upscaling meant that it magnified the screen so much that it blocked out the visible menu.
