ok, tried the above - no good - refresh me on how to access service menu please!

Also, I have a pc connected to the 32 which is working in dvi-i even with it disconnected can't get the 32 to work having reset/programmed the conns etc

In Tv mode, MENU 0 0 GO takes you into the service menu. My mate had a look at his last night and couldn't find the relevant section though. Real odd one this!!

Ok tried that cannot find any ref to hdmi/dvi etc in service area!

tried it again with the 4  pole  and red/blue/green lead into av4 no joy - this really is strange, as as before the pc works fine on dvi socket - the box i'm trying to connect is a HD 500hd vs2

And you have the connections set as;

                                AV1  STB(DTV)

                                AS   NONE

                                IR     ? depends if you are using one?

                                HDTV    DVI-I

no using av2for stb(dtv)

Still no luck for me either.

I have the STB set to 720p and connected to the DVI port and my connection settings for AV1 are:

Source: STB (V.AUX) (Humax PR HD1000)

Audio socket: None

IR Socket: None

HDTV: DVI-I

I have the scart lead plugged in (which has worked to produce SD images/sound) and I'm getting nothing. I've reset the TV to 'default' (from the service menu) before doing this and I have no idea why this isn't working.

Any advice would be much appreciated - I'm about ready to give up!

Let's go back to the start - are you sure that it is a HD-ready MK3 version?
Earlier version did not have HDCP - the DVI could only be used for
"not copy protected" material eg pictures from your computer.

The 4 digit TYPE NUMBER (alternatively the serial number of your TV) would help to verify.

My guess is your Humax cannot output hdmi and scart at the same time. This is common with settop boxes.

Unplug the scart from your Humax (not from the BV7) and reset the Humax and see if you have a picture. Offcourse there is no sound now. If this is true, you must get your sound from your red and white RCA-sockets, and connect it with the RCA-sockets of AV4.

Mine was supplied as HD ready, the info requested

Model   9344

Item 1828***

S/n    21277***

Hope help arrives, I have achieved digital sound using an spdif lead but no picture the box apparently puts out 480(?) 576(?) and 1080

do i need to use AV1?, which lead do I use , an HDMI->dvi-i or the 4 core lead into the y-Pb-Pr?

I realize there is little adv with HD over SD at this size of screen but, I just fancied the challenge, what sort of pi**ock am I then?

Think nurse was correct, I need to wear the boxing gloves all the time!!

Ok, an excellent revelation has occurred this morning - the lead just wasn't quite pushed in firmly, yay HD picture!
