An update.......I thought I'd try a sound bar, a Yamaha YAS 105. Not top of the range at £189 but as it was for 'every day' use ( I have a quality surround system for movies and the like) I thought it would suffice. The only connections to the sound bar were the 'optical out' from the LG 55E6V...
Three more hours of recordings without dropouts....Two of those hours have been on BBC programmes (no commercials to skip). Nothing else has been done to the set up. Just toggling between the settings using the 'wide' button on the Humax remote control. Done just once or twice and then returned...
I've switching between the settings using the wide button (auto>zoom>pillarbox) on the HDR's remote control per Border's suggestion before returning to the 'auto' setting. It's early days yet but I've only had one drop out in three hours of recording playback. It might be a coincidence but I'll...
Thanks for the update, Martin......It looks as though it's something we're going to have to continue to live with!:(. Mine is continuing drop out couple of times or so an hour, no better and no worse.
If you're looking to replace your Philips TV. It might be advisable to avoid LG smart TV's in view of the problems more than one of us are having with audio dropouts when connecting HDR Fox's via HDMI cables. Have a read through this...
The live TV channel was BBC News HD. I really think this is an LG TV problem. It only started for me after the 'upgrade' from our previous Samsung, there was no problem at all with that TV using the HDMI connections on the Humax boxes. As per my previous posts, since April, I've tried various...
Graham.......I'm not sure if your question is for me or 'Philbean'. Mine is a LG surround sound amplifier with just a Toslink connection and I confirm there have been no dropouts so connected. I have now switched the amp off and I am now using the Humax's with their HDMI's connected to the TV...
Was the connection with a fibre optic (Toslink) cable? Per my previous post, I have both my Humax boxes connected with these, a bit early yet with just a couple of hours running, there have been no drop outs. Proves nothing , I suppose, except that it's perhaps a HDMI problem. I'll continue...
Tonight the Humax lost sound altogether. The only way I could get the sound back was to switch the TV back to live TV and to re-boot the Humax.
I have both Humax's and a Bluray player connected to a surround sound amp ( LG!) optically. Over the next few days, I'll run the Humax's exclusively...
My LG55 OLEDEV6 is a 2016 model, purchased instead of a 2017 model because 2017 LG models don't offer 3D as well as 4K.....Judging by yours and my experience so far, a change of make of TV may be only option. Unfortunately, it's a bit late for me to do that.
By switching the TV HDMI input to...
Like you say, it's called 'Simplink' on LG TV's and there is no option to turn it off completely (that I can find), only the option not to use the LG remote to control other devices. I have that turned off.

You are not alone.....
TV:- LG55 OLEDEV6, purchased last April, replacing a Samsung.
I have two HDR Fox T2's, both 1TB
I've tried all the fixes above, new (quality)cables, switching inputs, plus turning the volume down slightly on the Humax's, (I run the volume flat out on the Humax's and...
Yes ....Recorded in HD and the end was missing.....To***rs. I've now deleted it so as not to disappoint my 4 year old granddaughter.
Crystal Palace transmitter.
Both episodes recorded on one of my HDRT2's in HD OK from the Crystal Palace transmitter.
I haven't recorded much on BBC4 HD & BBC3 HD lately , but no '0 minutes' failures for the last week or so.
Gerry
Agreed.....It's been a couple of weeks now since these new HD channels came on line and all we've had is guesswork from users who are more knowlegable than me as to what's wrong ! No comment from anywhere as to who is responsible and when we can expect a remedy. Personally, I don't wish to...
