HDMI Video only 720p

[peterpi]

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?

Press the v-format button on the remote. Press again until the required resolution is shown.

I shall try that now. I did and it worked. I've had T2's since they were introduced and never noticed or used that button

Thanks.

Unfortunately that doesn't stop it being pressed accidentally. You certainly aren't the first to tread this path

There are ways to help with that but it is probably not appropriate for this forum.

Or in this case, my wife pressing it.

I'm agog with trying to work out what that means.

My take is you press it to get where you want, disassemble the remote, put something non-conductive in the pad for that button, reassemble the remote.

But these remotes are not the easiest to split, so it's not gonna be easy.

It's available as a boot-setting ("Screen Resolution") – but obviously that requires CF.

I expect xyz321 was alluding to disabling the button via the ir mapping.

Not having experienced the Fox-T2 and the CF, I did wonder if such a mapping was possible.
FWIW I had a problem with hitting the wrong key on a remote. It was annoying because it crashed the Humax every time. My solution, buy a suitable One4All remote (going cheap at the time) and don't map the button.

So that's at least 4 possible solutions

Disassembling the remote being the least attractive...
