1. Experience of using pass-through HDR-2000T
  
  I was under the impression that the software update for 1800/2000T was so that it did not matter if power saving in standby was 'on' or 'off'??

3. Replacement TV
  
  Although my 2000T seems to have settled down, my 6 year old Sony 26inch still has its odd moments with the Hummy. I'm now considering getting a new set. I realise that it is personal choice, but what 32inch set do Hummyites consider the best match.

  Now for a really naive question. As HDMI does not 'auto-switch' PVR's to tv's, can I leave the Scart plug in to get the pvr to switch and then get HDMI quality playback.
