    Default Sky HD boxes and HDMI

    Can I get my HD boxes to automatically switch to the right channel when they are turned on? I have just set this for my PS3 but can't find any settings for it on the HD boxes.

    How did you get your ps3 to do it? Between the 360 and my ps3 (both hdmi) i have to cycle through av channels constantly to use either.

    On the PS3 go to settings>system settings>control for HDMI and switch it on.

    Then you have to set it up on your TV.

    When I turn the HD box on I want the TV to automatically switch to the correct HDMI channel.

    I have a Samsung LCD and a Sony LCD. On the Sony it says I have to turn on HDMI swithching (paraphrasing) and on the Sammy it searches for HDMI devices but only finds the PS3 (on which I have set up HDMI switching).

    Is there a setting hidden somewhere on the HD box to turn on HDMI switching? Does it work on yours?

    The box wont do that for you m8...thats gotta be a setting on your TV...or a Harmony remote would do it when switching on your SkyHD activity.
