Thanks Ezra, yes I've sorted that, with the aid of a magnifying glass. (My 80 year old eyes aren't what they used to be!)

Thanks Guys, you've given me something to think about. As for leaving the Humax as the default TV input, that wouldn't work in our house because as soon as my wife goes into the kitchen and turns the TV on in there, she would be complaining that hers and the lounge one are out of sync...
