It works, A SD epg entry for an Olympic channel
Done some playing, to survive a reboot intact after setting a SD Olympic Channel from the epg you have to manually edit one of the times to convert to a manual recording. If you don't the channel number changes in a reboot. (Thanks to Derek500 on DS for pointing this out)
Would somebody be able to post step-by-step instructions for adding the SD channels to the EPG like this? Thanks!
Using manual tune scan the SD transponders from this list and save the results.

Make a note of the channel numbers and then switch back to Freesat mode.
If you haven't already you need to install the custom firmware and the channel editor.
Using the channel editor make the channels you made a note of visible and freesat. Upload the changes and reboot the Foxsat-hdr. Set a recording in the usual way but edit at least one of the times.
Note if you using a firmware other than V1.0.20 then installing the current 4.0.7 custom firmware will reflash your box to V1.0.20.
Thanks very much.
In my Foxsat HDR I can make the SD channels visible in Freesat using the Channel Editor from the software package and then I can record from them but only one channel at a time. It seems impossible to record more than one although I have ASTRA 28.2 E satellite leads connected to both tuners. I have tried every combination of same/different but I get the same response. I can record two normal freesat channels but as soon as I try to record one of the olympic channels I can't record anything else, although I can sometimes trick the machine into recording one normal channel and then one olympic sd channel using the manual scheduler. What I absolutely haven't been able to do is to figure out how to record two olympic sd channels at the same time.
Can anyone suggest a fix, assuming Humax don't manage to get us an update before start of play tomorrow?
Hi won't be home till late this evening so I can't check if my box is the same till then. Can you view a SD Olympic channel while recording a normal Freesat channel ?
