It appears your tv remote and dvd remote are on the same frequency. I very much doubt changing leads will do owt.
I have/had a similar problem with my telly and starview. Think it was the down volume of the telly turn my starview up, or somat like that.. Starview is retired now anyway.
Sorry I couldn't help with ya problem.

Your only hope is to seperate the tv & dvd player. If you can get a meter between them & try to angle them away from each other it might help.

You should only be using the HDMI lead, you don't need both.

Sometime you need a scart in initially to be able to see the menu, if the HDMI isn't set to output. Once it is set then I agree, you don't need both leads, but it won't hurt it.

wouldn't it be easier to unplug your dvd player when not using it,
just a thought.

What brands are they as if they are toshiba and hitachi they come from the same factory hence the clash. Goodmans, proline, teknica and most of the budget stuff use the same frequencies aswell. Just put a tissue box or summit over the tv or DVD infrared sensor.
