Cross Channel Ghosting
Finally got hands on a Humax DTR. Brilliant box, only problem is a bit of cross channel ghosting - i.e. I can see the 'ghost' very faintly of another channel on top of the one being viewed.
Any ideas? I've got a Foxsat upstairs wired up to the same dish with no such problems, so it can't be dish alignment. The DTR is wired up via SCART (don't have an HDTV downstairs). |

This is usually down to poorly screened scart cables,known as scart crosstalk.
Use individually screened scart cables(21 pin) or a cheaper method is described here. |

So you bought the Humax HD PVR just to future proof yourself, as it's obviously not in use with an HD tv?

Thanks TV Duniya, I'll find a screened SCART lead and give that a go.
Dave - yeah, it's actually for my parents - they don't have a HDTV just yet, but I'd imagine they will do in the next couple of years so thought I'd sort them out with the HD PVR. Was quite hilarious in Currys actually: the moronic sales guy firstly tried to sell me a £70 HDMI lead despite previously mentioning it was for an SDTV... then went on to warn me not to set the box to output in 1080i as the HD channels broadcast natively in 720p and setting it at 1080i would "interfere with the picture". When I told him pretty much all HD is broadcast in 1080i, he denied it point blank and said I was wrong! |

Just for the record, I use a sky HD box currently only on a SD CRT tv, in my case bought because I got it cheap and I might as well be able to watch BBC HD (in SD) as it's sometimes a usefull timeshift of other BBC channels. Quote:
