InactiveHave you investigated the possibility of interference from an HDMI cable? Maybe something has been moved and cables have got too close together.

InactiveIt would be really good if this could be fixed. Maybe if the message just displayed once (when changing channel) that would be better. Rather than flashing it up every few minutes.
Workarounds are okay for now but a bit of a pain.
I use Standard Definition channels because the subtitles in High Definition are too small. If the subtitles were the same size, perhaps I would watch High Definition channels.

That’s an excellent point. I would contact the BBC and point this out as an unexpected consequence. I always though it’s pretty stupid immediately after following a prompt to switch to SD to watch the local news to be faced with a prompt asking you to switch back to HD

I wouldn’t have though it beyond the BBC to provide a high res version of the subtitle overlays for HD use to maintain the size.

InactiveI am glad I am not alone finding “(OK)Watch in HD” notifications really annoying now that they seem to occur every few minutes and a dark shadow surrounds it. Should be a setting option to turn it off.
Also beginning to find trailers for next programme top right in last minutes of some shows, which are also unwanted distraction.
Who to blame BBC or Humax?

The BBC are . You can get rid of the prompt by pausing and releasing live TV for a few seconds. I avoid this by adding a series recording for the local weekday news and watching that later.

Thanks for the reply. I will try the pause/play workround. Assume that works on 5000T.

All of the Humax pvr’s have live pause. All you have to do is slightly increase the time between the box asked you to switch to SD till the annoying message times out.
The 4000 and 5000T are essentially identical, and now both have the same user interface. The same dodge does work with the Humax HD Freesat pvrs as well

Add to that the squashing and chattering over the end titles. These are always the fault of the broadcaster. You could always complain to the relevant broadcaster but you will get one of the standard responses: “Nobody else has complained” is a favourite.
