Unlikely to be the main PSU (imho). Possibly a tuner-related issue? Don't assume that the cables/connections and LNB outputs feeding the -HDR aren't faulty just because another LNB outlet and cable feeding the TV works. Swap cables to check. First though, what does the TV report for signal...

What "creeping use"? ONE channel (That's TV3) on ONE DVB-T Mux (D3&4) is all that there is to see / hear (or not without the needed video and sound codecs) as far as I can tell. Singular.

Certainly NOT a transmitter-related issue. Possible, but unlikely to be in C&M as all (English) regions are affected --- no reports from NI, Wales or Scotland that I've seen (so far) - but they may also be affected. It'll most likely be in the stream from ITV playout which has moved to the...

Similar has been reported on AVForums... and DigitalSpy via users (with a TV, in each case)? Also other reports of a BARB survey particiapation popup that can be cleared / opted out of vie the Yellow button on some TV channels (ITV1 HD for me on various TVs, but not my HDR-Fox-T2). I'd suggest...

That is again gonna be ancient stock... Those disks haven't been made for years. WD10EARS were being fitted circa 2019 and those are probably "end of life" as well by now. No jumper needed. Still the Amazon seller has an address in Hounslow, mid terraced house, and Amazon take fulfilment...

I blame my waning powers and number dyslexia :rolling:and assuming someone else got them right. Sorry. The 768 was all to do with computer screens and bulk manufacture, though, I'm reasonably sure. Never mind the width. :dunno:

720 rows according to wikipedia for displays... no mention of width pixel count ;) Freeview HD stbs and pvrs will have 576i outputs for legacy TV displays (at least in the early days, some even doing analogue PAL out via scart or RCA) so pretty much screen resolution agnostic. While no TV...

Nope. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HD_ready no need for any tuner at all to meet the HD ready spec. Many EU-wide models had the MP4 codec in DVB-T tuner TVs (such as EEPhil's set). Other makers (e.g. Panasonic) crippled their UK variants in HD Ready and/or full HD screen resolution...

Mandated in Freeview HD spec. After ETSI ratification of DVB-T2 as a Standard in September 2009. All new Freeview HD product designs launched after April 2011 in UK had to also include HE-AAC transcoding to DD (Phil Layton, BBC R&D blog). UK Freeview HD had a technical launch broadcast from...

Original Freeview / Ofcom licensing mandated MP4 via -T2 for HD although France (and others used it quite sucessfully on DVB-T). Indeed there were reports from caravan/motorhome types that their TVs had audio but no pictures if memory serves me correctly. Even today...

Latency will be taken care of in the transport stream encoding timestamp metadata references... so that S and V are synced. (Similar metadata determines how 5.1 is level down-mixed to stereo, I understand.) Plus lip sync correction is available should the connected display delay the video...

HDR-Fox-T2 menu is for Multichannel Stereo out when MPEG -> PCM; DD and DD+ -> DD on output (from my copy of the manual). It's not labelled bitstream as the box has to transcode the broadcast HE-AAC to DD)... and mix the Audio Description track in if wanted, somehow. I'm not sure that's going...
