I recently moved my TV and humax to a new room. The aerial goes to a splitter/booster and I receive a perfect picture on TV. my problem is that I cannot get a picture on Humax recorder. I have checked wiring and aerial lead and they are working fine. On humax I can receive old recorded programs but I cannot receive TV pictures. It tells me there is no signal. HELP
Plug the aerial in.
Done that!

From your description so far, there are a many reason of what could be causing a lack of a live TV picture from the Humax.
Could you describe what sort of Humax recorder that you have and the full description of what you know about which RF leads go where, and from where? It would also help others to help you if you describe what you have attempted, or ruled out, so far.
If you are saying that your TV displays the Humax picture (so you can view the recordings) but you get a “no signal” message on the Humax when trying view live TV, either you haven’t plugged the aerial in correctly or the cable is perhaps damaged (or you have managed to delete the channels). If you are saying that the Humax displays correctly but live TV isn’t viewable on the TV, you probably haven’t connected the patchlead between the Humax and the TV.
If you are saying that you are getting no picture from the Humax and the “no signal” message is on the TV, you have almost certainly plugged the hdmi cable into a different port to the one used previously.
The Humax is HDR-FOXC T2
The aerial lead coming from the splitter I plug in to the Antenna in slot , left of rear top slot of two
Scart goes into Scart
HDM1 1 goes into HDMI
Am I doing anything wrong there?
I have tried swapping TV and Humax leads which proves that my leads are OK
I have tried a different splitter – same result
Humax should read HDR-FOX T2

Plus, you don’t need a scart and an hdmi lead, it one or the other not both.
My original answer stands.

Plug the aerial in.
If you can watch recorded programmes, then the connection between the box and TV is working OK. As said above, you only need the HDMI connection, but that has not stopped it working.
If you look at the channel list with the Humax, can you see them listed?
If not, and you have attempted to retune, if at that time the aerial was incorrectly connected, then the channel details will have been wiped. Only if that is the case, you will need to retune again to get them back.
Time to go back to basics.
Move the tv and one aerial lead back to the original room.
Connect up – does it work?
If no try another lead or tv.
If yes, take the tv lead back to the new room. Connect up and test.
Does it work?
If no – fix the socket and check that it is connected to the tv aerial and is not just a passive feed from the other room. Is the splitter/amp pluged in and powered up?
If yes – work through the tv/humax connections one by one until you find the problem and fix it.

Why???
He’s described the problem in post #6.
I’m not sure if SSThing has mentioned this somewhere in the thread, but have you tried connecting the aerial lead to the Humax without a splitter?
Just connect the HDMI to the TV, not the scart.
If this works, you can then connect the loop aerial lead from the back of the Humax to the TV.
Tried this, no luck althpogh I did a scan with these settings and it did find channels from 800 onwards but no info from them
Do you think#l a factory reset might help even if it means sacryfising my prerecorded programs
You must have the aerial connected to the wrong place.
Furthermore, you say
“The aerial lead coming from the splitter I plug in to the Antenna in slot , left of rear top slot of two”
The layout of the antenna ports on the HDR-Fox T2 are side by side not one above the other (unless the design has been changed).

There are two designs; my early production HDR-FOX T2 has the sockets side by side but late production boxes use a different tuner arrangement with the sockets vertically aligned.
