It's the laser output and it's on whenever the box is switched on i.e. not in standby . The sprung cover on the socket is pushed back by insertion of the plug but the red laser is visible around the edges of the cover before insertion.

Just checked mine........that doesn't work either! Checked BBC SD channels & BBC HD channels......nothing . Switch to the TV's tuner everything is OK! :(
Edit: Tried again using the Humax, BBC SD channels seem to take a couple of minutes before text is available. I tried waiting a few...
If it's any consolation my HDR T2 (1TB) does a similar thing, i.e. if I switch the box out of standby when it's recording, select HDMI on our Sony KDL-W40A12U...nothing, just a black screen. The box is on, i.e the display is lit up, but no picture. It's fortunate that I have a 'Neet' HDMI...
I have a 5 year old SonyKDL-W40A12U and an HDR Fox T2 (1TB) which was purchased in November 2010.

My HDR Fox T2 does not do it. When pressing the the exit button if playing back a recording and when recording 2 other channels, the box reverts to the 'video' screen with the list of recorded programmes. The on going two recordings continue. I hope this makes sense!

I have a HDR-Fox- T2, it's hooked up to my surround sound via optical connection so that, when it's broadcast, I get the full Dolby Digital effect. I've had this box since just after Christmas as a replacement for another HDR-Fox- T2 which failed (that's another story!)
