At the bottom of the scheduled recordings page you should then find a manual recording option for the channels.

OK, via computer. Trying it now.
BTW there seems to be no teletext or programme info on ARD when it is listed under freesat!
OK - I was able to set a timer record using the computer. Evidently when I don't want to do that and want teletext I'm better leaving it in non-freesat...

You do not get any of the bells and whistles that the freesat epg adds on any generic free to air satellite box, merely the capability to watch the actual programme content.
You also have to manually follow any changes to non-freesat channel transponders etc.
The whole point of the Freesat epg (and the Sky one) is that channels that pay to be on the epg have these changes automatically made. If you want to view these channels on any generic fta box, it's down to you to make the required changes.
You seem to assume that somehow being able to watch and record these channels in freesat mode will give you the advantages of channels that carry the freesat epg data. It will not, the data is not present in the data stream from the broadcast, it's only in the freesat epg.
