The picture quality when receiving the signal through my Humax PVR-9300T (either recorded or live) is significantly poorer than when I route the signal direct to the TV.
My PVR is linked to the TV via RGB cables.
Has anyone a suggestion as to how this could be improves?

I think you mean the broadcast digital signals (via the aerial)
If that's what you mean then you are saying that when the aerial is plugged into the TV the ANALOGUE channels (BBC1, BBC2, ITV1,Ch4,FIVE) are perfectly fine but when you plug the aerial into the Humax box the DIGITAL channels are not very good with lots of picture breakup.
Is that right?
If that is the case then your aerial (or aerial cable) will need changing or some kind of repair work doing on it. You might need a new aerial or you might be in an area that is rubbish for digital signals.
Please give more info.
My TV is a digital, so I get a digital signal direct to the TV as well as through the PVR. And the signal direct to the TV gives a better picture than through the PVR.
Also, there is no picture break up - it is the focus is not so sharp. In fact, it is only I looking at it critically who notices it, the other member of the household finds both pictures acceptable.
It could be interesting to swap the aerials and see if that swaps the picture quality. I shall have a go.
There is also a Humax output setting you could check, it is in Menu/Preferences/AV Control/TV Scart on my Humax.
If the aerial/signal works fine after it has been through the PVR and onward to the TV's internal tuner, then the aerial/signal sound OK to me.
If you havn't then check that the scart output (on the Humax) is set to RGB and not composite or S-Video.
As 'nancyboy' says it's in that menu somewhere.
Also make sure that the scart lead is in a scart socket (on the TV) that actually "does" RGB. Not all of them do.
Otherwise there won't be much that can be done, no point swapping aerials because it's a different thing entirely.
All ends well. Thanks
Your DVD "RGB" lead is a COMPONENT lead (not actually RGB but basically the same) Not to be confused with Composite which is rubbish and seems what you had from your Humax all along.
