I cannot receive a decent terrestrial signal so am connected to

forward please? I would like something, TV wise, like the the
Samsung 52 inch we have.

Could you clarify if you currently have a Freesat TV or is your TV a
Freeview one connected to a Freesat Humax box?

I'm sure there are many who read both newsgroups, but just in case
there aren't, you might get more answers reposting in

Sorry, it is a freeview connected to freesat via the Humax


I'm not a fan of the user interface on Humax freesat boxes but actually
believe that you aready have the best of a bad job in terms of setup,
usability and maintainability. Switch on Humax, switch on telly
(connected via HDMI) and it all boots up to a channel display screen,
viewing options available by 'guide'. Soundbar will likely power up
itself if HDMI's back to the telly or manually turn on by button press or
remote if not.

If you go for a freesat telly I don't know that the UI will be any better
and you will have to go back to the Humax to schedule recordings, poss
more complex rather than less.

Could 'follow-me' instruction with the missus every time you set
something up be a solution?
