Hi, I have a Humax F2 Fox T set top Box. I have been using it with a Scart cable to a Bush digital television. This has worked fine. I had to move the TV and disconnected all the cables. When I reconnected the cables. The set top box and the TV would not communicate with one another. Can you tell me what I have doen wrong. Please could you email to me a copy of the F2 Fox T users guide. Many thanks, Philip Rowley email : [email protected]

This device has a fan that will turn on when the temperature of the internal hard drive reaches a certain level. The problem may be due to a faulty sensor, fan or both. here's a forum for this hardware that may be of help: http://hummy.tv/forum/forums/hdr-fox-t2-freeview-recorder.13/

Hiya
We are having the exact same problem, our 3D tv works perfectly with the V+ box when connected via the scart but when its connnected via HDMI cable then there is no sound at all.
Did you manage to get this problem resolved and if so, how? Thanks.

Hi, If it does not say digital then it's not. You need a PVR which will decode the digital signal (set top box) Some TV's have digital and analogue tuners built in which is good too. Your cable company or dish network will give you more info for watching great TV.

You will see the colored jacks on tv. There should be a print by them that says out. Match the colors from the jacks on the tv to the same colored ones on the Humax. The ones on the Humax should say input or a/v or dvd, or phono. From the dvd player, match the colors from here to the tv. The tv should have another set of 3 colored rca jacks that say imput on them.
From DVD Player out to tv in From tv out to Humax in/av/dvd/ ect.
Yellow is video Red is Audio Right Channel White is Audio Left Channel

I , would try using another ( alternative connection) from your humax , say the scart cable just to see if it , the humax is ok. then if tv has more than 1 hdmi skt try it too, if still not working retry upgrade firmware route

Hi,

You didn't fully expain how each device is connected to the others. I don't think you have this set up correctly. Your DVD cannot record in HD so there is no point sending an HD signal to it - it can't process it. This is how I would set it up:

1. Install a 2-way splitter on the input cable
2. Connect output 1 from the splitter to the Humax receiver
3. Connect the Humax receiver to the TV with an HDMI cable
4. Connect output 2 from the splitter to the DVD
5. Connect the DVD to the TV with SCART cable.

This will enable you to watch HDTV via the digital receiver and also provide an input from source (dish/cable) to your DVD player so that you can record.

If you've already set it up this way then it should work. I suspect you've connected the Humax to the DVD and TV and also the DVD to the TV.

Please try this setup and post back if you need further assistance.

Hi
You should not have to re-tune your tv as the set top box will be plugged in via a scart lead so its the set top box that needs to be retuned.
Go to the menu of the set box and select new installation under features or set up.
Hope this helps
