I’ve done something to the screen resolution on my humax box, and can ot restore it to where it was. I’ve been to settings and screen resolutions and tried all the options, but cannot get back. Please can anyone help? Many thanks
Would help if you told us which model of Humax box. One thing that springs to mind is that you have accidentally changed a setting on the TV itself and it is that which needs changing back.
Its not the old V-FORMAT button on the RC is it? It’s a common ‘problem’ on the HDR-FOXT2
Gomezz it’s a FOX-SAT-HDR about nine years old.
No,I don’t think it’s a setting on the tv itself, as that is working fine. It happened when the box had been chosen in “Source” on the tv remote.
When I click on v-format, I can change the resolution through:
1080i
Original
720 x 560
and one that is so large the settings are off the screen
But none of these are right. The picture is either small with a big black frame round it, or else it’s elongated
When I click on “wide” , it Scrolls through:
16.9 letterbox
14.9 letterbox
Centre cut out
Auto

V-format on bottom row of remote cycles through the available options. Generally you should set it to 1080i.
Graham, I can get 1080 which is what I think it should be, but it has wide black spaces down each side, it doesn’t fill the whole screen.

That’s because the channel you are watching is transmitting 4:3. Without extreme distortion or losing the edge of the picture that’s the only way to show 4:3 on a 16:9 display. If you were to stretch it out both sides to lose the black lines and maintain the aspect ratio then you would lose content top and bottom.
Change to say 111 ITV-HD
It’s the same on all channels and has never happened before when the box has the right settings

In that case you must have changed one of the other settings. I will boot my Foxsat-HDR. It will be in the box TV-Setup options. Generally best to set 16:9
Thank you!
We just disconnected the tv and the humax, left them off for ten minutes, switched them back on, but no change.

Thank you!
You are welcome – I take it that you needed to change this setting ?
