Brilliant stuff, I second Black Hole's endorsement of it.
Humax greenscreen on some tvs

Apparently good enough to fix a mechanically constrained but weeping joint in vented CH pipework until it gets drained. I was quite pleased to find a few inches at the bottom of the toolbox so avoiding a SF/TS trip. However this is a 90s system with no HDMI interface!
Not equivalent but possibly useful is Nano Gel Tape.

May contain traces of nut
I've seen it but I didn't realise what it is! Perhaps we could use nano-tape for climbing skyscrapers (a la Mission impossible).

Just confirmation that this worked for me with a minus pin 19 cable and the vformat macro saved as boot.
Intact cable doesn't work with macro at boot or via remote just pressing vformat button.
minus pin 19 cable works with macro at boot
Tested both by turning off then on the device from the rear switch.
Pressing power on remote turns on the Humax, and maybe 10-15 seconds later channel appears on TV screen.

Having had this HDMI green screen problem with one of my boxes, with one of my TVs I have been following this topic with interest.
Instead of cutting into a cable or removing the pin from the connector, I found an HDMI breakout board on Ali Express - link below - only £2.
By cutting the pin 19 trace on the board gives the wanted result. On my device I then covered the board with a couple of layers of kapton tape as an insulator, followed by a layer of copper tape with a wire soldered to the SCR connection on the board to act as a screen. This was then covered with self amalgamating tape to finish off. The width of the board may obstruct adjacent connectors on some installations but short HDMI extension cables are readily available for about £3 - £4.
I'm not sure if the copper tape to act as a screen was absolutely necessary but I had it to hand and it seemed a good idea at the time.
