Hi, have enjoyed reading this forum for some time and it's been very helpful, so thanks everyone.
Now my question.
I have a recent Sony Bravia HD set (KDL-32E4050) and with it a Sony BD DVD player.
Now I have attached a Humax Foxsat HDR set with twin satellite inputs to the Sony TV via the HDMI-1 cable connection.
The system works fine provided you manually select HDMI-1 on the Sony Bravia TV handset each time. The TV does not auto-detect the presence of the Humax box and jump to that channel when the Humax box comes on. It did previously do this with the Sky+ box.
Any ideas how to reprogram the Sony Bravia TV to maybe ignore the other channels and jump to HDMI-1 when you switch it on? At the moment it only plays either Freeview on TV-1 or else jumps to the Sony DVD player, which it does know about. The DVD player is registered in the HDMI "devices detected" list, which is I guess where the problem lies. I have rerun the "detect HDMI devices" routine in the Bravia HOME menu, but still no effect.
Alternatively, is there a feature in Humax somewhere to make it announce it's presence to a digital TV via an HDMI connection?
Or is this just a weakness in Humax compared to the (generally terribly third rate) Amstrad Sky+ box?
Many thanks in advance for any help
