Hi there,
For some reason, all menus in my Humax Freesat 1000S model have shunk and open in the top-left hand corner of my TV screen. The TV picture displays OK, but the menus are very small and difficult to see – it’s almost as if my Humax Freesat 1000s thinks I have a reduced resolution and tried to fit the menus in a smaller space.
I have tried factory reset, software updates, tried everything in the system menus – nothing works. Please help, it looks really bad
Kind regards
David
Posting a photo for us to see would help. Are you sure your TV is not performing a PiP (picture in picture) function?
I had this happen once to me, before the latest software update. Definitely not PiP on the TV as the current channel was being shown full screen but the menu was appearing in a quarter screen section.
Putting the box into standby corrected this for me and I haven’t seen it again.
Definitely not PiP.
I turned it on yesterday and the menu turned into a *tiny* box in the top-left – not even big enough to navigate all menus. I had to guess the menu options for factory reset. Once done it reverted to the small menu referred to above.
Oddly enough, turning it on this morning and my menu reverted to full-screen again! There seems to be no pattern to it.
If it happens again (I’m sure it will as its so sporadic) I’ll grab a screenshot and post it.
Thanks
David
A similar thing happened to me. It turned out to be the HDMI cable. I was using an older standard cable and not the one supplied with the box. Was trying to output at 720p instead of 1080i as in settings. Needs a “High Speed” one….

The original hdmi spec cable supported in excess of 1080i, if yours did not it must have been faulty.
Hi Graham,
The cable I was using was the one I had been using with a Sagem HDR that the HDR1000s replaced.The problem started after changing the TV from an older HD ready TV (that had shown no problems)to a new Full HD TV without changing the cable used to match the output..

I had this issue with the shrunken menus again. See the attached image (sorry for the blurry shot!). I had this straight out of standby, even the free time anim at start up was minimised.
I did note that the HDR was recording at the time, so I don’t know if this is something to do with it? I stopped the recording (as I didn’t want it in any case) and put the box back into standby. Then started the HDR again and the menu was back to the normal size.
I have the latest software, btw!

Sorry, trying to get the photo size correct!
Right, try this…
The TV channel menu keeps shrinking to 25% to the top left of the screen.
Most times it can be corrected back to full screen by switching everything off and re-starting, which is annoying.
Have you found a fix for this yet? Photo attached.

First thing to check is that the HDMI cable is correctly seated. This is a sync problem between the Humax recorder and TV.
