    HDMI audio issues - Humax 1800t, Panasonic TV, Onkyo amp, Sony HDD, Samsung Blu Ray

    I can’t believe I made that post in 2018. it seems like a lifetime and several lockdowns ago and I never followed it up. For the last few years, I have been using the HDMI inputs on my TV to run a Hume box, a Sony, hard drive recorder, and a Blu-ray player and running an optical out to the amp...

    Programme Clipping again on BBC2

    Sorry gang it’s an 1800T. As it happens I did photograph the schedule before I actually carried out the retune.

    Programme Clipping again on BBC2

    I’ve noticed that at least two episodes of QI and the David Bowie documentary from Saturday, the 9th of February have all been cut off prematurely before the end of the recording. This sort of problem seems to coincide with new channels and requires a rescan. The problem is you can’t back up...

    1800T says signal too weak, but TV says it's fine

    I turned all that all rubbish off on day one. It took me a while to realise I had to switch my HDD players to 1080p output so I didn’t get a filmise artefact on those machines. The occasional issue persists on some HD channels but the output from my Humax is fine

    1800T says signal too weak, but TV says it's fine

    One of the reasons I switched from 1080i to 1080p is that 1080p eliminates the motion artefacts I was seeing on vintage analogue shows like "Top Of The Pops" on BBC4 and DVDs of "It Ain't Half Hot, Mum" and "Doctor Who". It was getting odd segments of 'filmised' motion on what should have been...

    HDMI audio issues - Humax 1800t, Panasonic TV, Onkyo amp, Sony HDD, Samsung Blu Ray

    I've managed to set up this recently acquired amp so that the TV sound routes back through the amp and thru the speakers using the tv's HDMI/ARC port and the amps corresponding R1 option. With HDMI CEC activated the amp and tv auto switch to the Blu-ray player and the Sony HDD quite happily on...

    Retune 21-3-18 (Rowridge) - lost Com 8 (Resolved)

    'Line of sight' rather than actual sight. CP is 15 miles away. I can see AP but not CP! Pointing it in the right direction seems to help.

    Retune 21-3-18 (Rowridge) - lost Com 8 (Resolved)

    I believe I may have solved my problem. The aerial had been aligned in the general direction of Crystal Palace (i.e. 'thataway'), which was fine until this recent change. I used an online tool to work out the direction more accurately and tweaked it, and while it may not be bang on beam, I'm...

    Retune 21-3-18 (Rowridge) - lost Com 8 (Resolved)

    Given that I'm on Crytsal Palace and I have a loft aerial, and my general signal strength is good there's this. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Red-Group-A-UHF-Aerial-Silver/dp/B074J9DWRR/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1521882528&sr=8-7&keywords=red+group+aerial It looks a wee bit flimsy. Any recommendations?

    Retune 21-3-18 (Rowridge) - lost Com 8 (Resolved)

    I retuned last evening and lost some of the HD channels on my Humax 1800T (BBC 4, News, Al Jazeera, RT Today etc). I returned on my Panasonic the night before and retained them. Some are showing reduced signal strength or reduced quality, alltho the big 5 are fine. I get my reception from...
