You can’t record non freesat channels but tnx for info
Foxsat HDR boxes with Custom Firmware can record and move the channel to the ‘normal’ list
Hi,
Many thanks for guide, very easy to follow.
I do, however, have a question:
How do I get back to watch Freesat programmes other than turning it off and back on again?
I don’t have a Freesat button on my (after market) remote.
Kind regards,
Steve
Simply go back into the menu system and change STB mode from “non Freesat Mode” to “Freesat mode”
If you do not have the Freesat button to access the menu, then simply press the TV Guide button and scroll down to settings
Today 05/12/18 I’ve tried to find c4hd using the search parameters given, and am getting zero results. Has the channel been pulled from the satellite, or have parameters been changed please? Ade
Follow-up comment……succeeded in finding c4hd by changing to simple DVB rather than DVB-S. Ade
I am using Foxsat HDR and CAN record Non-Freesat (Channel 4) but only MANUALLY.
This is way better than nothing!
