4. HDMI Video only 720p
  
  As the title says, my TV is displaying a message 720p 50hz on my screen for a couple of seconds. I have two T2's. The other one, with the same HDMI lead and input port on the TV shows 1080. I've gone through the settings but I must be missing something. Any idea what setting is wrong?

  Thanks for all the heads up. I've not subscribed for over ten years as I don't like their business model. My son signed migrated his mobile service to them as it was "a really good price". Except call waiting is £2.50 a month extra, voice mail is £2.50 a month extra and the last time I checked...

  What's the deal with using a Sly Q lnb on a Freesat receiver? My son has finally listened to me, and given them the elbow but his Humax Freesat Box is not compatible with the Q LNB. How have they screwed yet one more thing down with their control freakery. Different mixdown IF at the receiver?

7. New TV Problem.
  
  I'm afraid I wasn't aware of the true situation. Originally there appeared to be a problem with an HDMI lead which I changed. But what I actually did was to remove the existing lead at the T2 end and plugged the lead that was in HDMI 1 into the T2. Effectively changing two things at the same...

  I decided to try using Macrium Reflect to do a clone. So far, so good but it's going to take about 12.5 hours doing a sector copy so I suppose that means copying blank sectors as well. I'll be able to see if it worked early hours tomorrow.

  I've had a look at that and I'm a bit confused. The sequence seems to be replace existing disk with new one. Let it format ETC. Place new disk in caddy so I assume the old disk goes back in the machine? Then I telnet and install the software on the old disc when it's back in the machine?
