    I have tried to change my T2’s code through 2-6 without any joy.

    Are you saying that you tried codes 2-6 with your T2 and that the situation with the Youview box persisted for all codes?

    That’s how I read it but I think Barry and MontesEvilTwin put the emphasis on “tried to change”.

    I have HDR-FOX and a DTR-T1000 together without any problems. The DTR-T1000 uses the standard Humax ‘mode 1’ remote codes: I changed the HDR-FOX to ‘mode 2’. I don’t use the YouView box a lot so I leave it in high eco mode (takes about 3 minutes to boot up) and the HDR-FOX remote has never woken the YouView box. I don’t know if the later models of YouView box are different but I don’t know why they would make the later boxes respond to commands from different codesets. I also don’t understand how the YouView box would wake up in response to the HDR-FOX remote control when in high eco mode but not in low eco mode. Is there another factor in play? Does the BT YouView box (model?) Support HDMI-CEC, and is it responding to a signal passed through the HDMI cable?

    Hi, thanks to you all for your replies. I basically have the same problem as outlined by Soverson in #10. I have no problem changing the codes on the HDR it’s just that each time I fire up the HDR the Yourview box starts up as well (if it set to high eco mode) regardless of what remote code I have entered for the HDR so I have had to leave it in low eco mode as that’s the only way it doesn’t start up with the HDR when they are both from standby mode, also the ‘intelligent'(???) link control on my Panasonic TV always goes to the Yourview box HDMI input first for some reason, perhaps I should change the order of my inputs on the TV? Could it be that my Yourview box (model DB-T2200/BT/DF) as supplied to me by BT in July simply fires up on any remote code? It is, I understand a fairly basic model with no record facility. MontysEvilTwin asked if my Youview box supports HDMI-CEC. I don’t know what that is, sorry. My youview box came with a very simply instruction booklet with no technical information whatsoever. Obviously I have an HDMI cable plugged into the back of the Youview box which goes directly to the HDMI4 input (one of 4 separate HDMI inputs) on my Panasonic TV TX-L37D28, that’s all I can say really. It’s not a big problem, I can manage it, it’s annoying when things don’t work as they should or could. Anyway, when I get around to geting another TV for the dining room I may well move the yourview box to there so I can watch the footy in peace, sorted, unless my HDR remote is very good through a couple of walls. Thanks to all for your time.

    Viera-link is what Panasonic call HDMI-CEC.

    Try turning it off on the TV.

    Hi, I tried what you suggested and switched off Viera-Link. True to say, it did stop my TV from routing itself directly to the Youview HDMI input but of course it also stopped other devices like DVD player etc. doing the same. Strangely, the Youview box STILL fired up from high eco mode when I started my HDR T2 although as I said it didn’t default to Youview HDMI input. I navigated to the Youview HDMI input manually pressed the standby button on the remote and the light did go from red (High eco mode) to blue (on) but then blacked out completley for a moment only to come on again to (blue) to inform me that it couldnt find ESPN channel (I think the network blipped out) So I had to change the settings back to low eco mode and restart from purple and it was then ok. I think I will better off leaving things as they are for now until some bright spark from Humax or the community either come up with a software update or a magic hack for the Youview box. Many thanks for you time.
