In the manual for the Humax HD satellite receiver it says 'You can set the resolution of the screen. Press the V-FORMAT button while watching a programme. The
current resolution will be displayed.
Each time you press the V-FORMAT button, the
resolution changes in the following sequence:
576iJ576pJ720pJ1080iJOriginal.
Note: ''If the product is connected to the TV using an
HDMI cable, Original will not be displayed.''
Its the last bit i am interested in because the product is connected to the TV via a HDMI cable, but the word 'Original' does appear on the screen when i press the V-FORMAT button to change the resolution.
Does this mean that i am not watching HD? and how can i tell if i am, as it isn't exactly obvious to me of there being a Great improvement in the picture. Is there some kind of test one can do to determine if your watching HD or not. If anyone can give me a lightbulb moment i would appreciate the effort.
Many tanxs
