My purpose is to receive RTL Germany to see F1 when not on the BBC

RTL Germany on Astra 12188H 27500 ¾ FTA

Method
Settings – System Settings – STB Mode – Change to non FreeSat

(Assume no channels selected)

Search Channels – User Defined – Enter details as above and save

Return to Search Channels and press in sequence RGYBGYB

This opens the hidden menu to enter in my case

Fixed Dish – Astra1 – DiSEqC A

Job done

There are only DiSEqC options on the switch type menu.

Thank you again for all your valuable help

Given the above I was very surprised to receive the following from Humax Support later in the day

Thank you for contacting Humax Support.

I apologise, but the tech team say that's not a possibility on the 1000s.

Best Regards,

Make of that what you will, Cheers

I would assume it's because the method posted above isn't achieved via the standard user settings, but via a hidden service menu.
Also as they're under contract from Freesat they're probably not allowed to discuss certain non-Freesat functions.

I would assume it's because Humax support aren't always the fount of all knowledge.

macbaz85 - As you are the first, that I have heard of anyway, to venture into DiSEqC on this unit, Is all functioning as expected?

if you have any questions, I expect that it is much the same as on the Foxsat which has quite a few DiSEqC users.

I am not surprised that support know little of this area and some others. It does however show the value of forums such as this.

The easiest way is buy a cheap STB and connect to the 19.2 feed. I did this two years ago !
