    Hi,

    First post. Looks a great forum and full of info.

    My old humax fox hd box is on its last legs and currently i use this with 2 dishes freesat and 19.2e for German tv (wife is german). I have both coaxes running into 1 diseq and this connects to my humax box.
    Using the secret menu i can switch between freesat and non freesat.

    Looking at new boxes and cannot see the option of the hidden menu.

    Can i please ask if its possible to have the same set up as above using a 1100s or something new?

    I cannot run 2 cables at present so would like to use the diseq set up again.

    many thanks

    Paul

    Have you considered fixing your Fox HD box? It probably just needs some PSU capacitors replacing.

    many thanks guys.

    Not a power issue with the current box, just a problem where you change channels and a few mins later screen goes blank and then back on again, keeps happening and only when using the Humax box. It must be easily 10 years old now and done me proud.

    Thought it time to get a new box and pretty much decided on the 1100s but not sure if it allowed one input using a diseqc with 2 dishes. I did ask Humax directly and after a week or waiting was told its not possible.

    Think it best to give it a try

    regards

    Paul
