3. Issues after the 7 March retune event
  
  Don't know if all the country is affected yet. Winter Hill here. They moved some of the MUXs round on Wednesday. Again! Everything was fine beforehand. Now after the retune I've lost COM6 completely (TalkingPictures, Yesterday, Spike etc) The Humax won't pick them up at all. Shows zero signal...

4. Disable recommendations ?
  
  Is there any way to disable the recommendation feature? Where you select something to record and then the box (or specifically Channel 4) 'recommends' something completely unsimilar to record also. Thought there might be a package to do this if it was technically possible.

  At the top of the screen on a few of the 'cheaper' channels, I have a black line.. maybe 1 or 2 pixels deep with white bits. Like its supposed to be some sort of data line hidden in the picture, but its being shown. Channels affected are Talking Pictures TV, Sony Movies, Forces TV.. The line...

6. New LG Smart TV. Audio dropouts via HDMI
  
  Can't remember exactly as the TV has gone back now but 2 of the programmes affected were that BBC docu on great cities of the world and GPs Behind Closed Doors on 5. Audio dropouts were in the middle of the programme. Nothing to do with ad breaks or ratio switching. Back on my old Toshiba TV...

  I did add a booster to try and fix it. Should I try replacing that with an attenuator then ? All this to get Talking Pictures TV ! :)

  Sorry I think I'm confusing issues by having 2 TVs involved in this. My current (OLD) TV is 9 years old and cannot receive FreeviewHD at all through its tuner. So a splitter is of no use. The only way I can view HD channels is from the Hummy. The only reason I discovered that the Hummy box is...

  I'm back on my old TV now which cannot receive COM7 so an aerial bypass won't work. I can try the analogue connection idea though. Just to confirm its a HDMI thing.

  Hmm.. I've tried 3 HDMI cables so far. Latest is supposed to be a well screened decent one. Hasn't made any difference. And if it was just HDMI interference.. wouldn't I lose signal all the time? I can get weeks of near perfect signal.. then suddenly.. gone. Baffling.
