    Rebooted the box, only 5001, 5002 and 5003 showing in non-freesat, but all those other channels showing on CF despite having uploaded from the box!

    Tried a manual recording on C4HD using CF with the box on C4HD. Did not record. However a manual recording of C4HD worked fine.

    Guessing must have added non-freesat channels before, manual tune does not delete previously added channels, just adds duplicates if you scan the same transponders again. You need to delete all the non-freesat channels you added and re-scan the Channel 4-HD again, then re-import the Channel 4 HD transponder again (which will give just two channels) . Then re-import the non freesat channel list in the CF.

    Will post the procedure tomorrow, watching strike at the moment.

    Blimey that was quick (9 seconds )

    Briefly

    Without using the CF, switch to non-freesat and use the list command to list the channels you have stored.

    While in non-freesat use the edit channels option to select all TV channels (look at the prompts at the bottom of the screen _ and delete them all, use the group command to switch to radio and repeat. Then scan the single transponder, If you get lost don't worry I will go through it step by step in the morning. In the end you should have just 4Seven and channel 4 HD.

    Seems the channel editor channel list is out of sync with the actual box.

    At the top of the channel editor is a button is a import data from Foxsat button. That should line up the channel editor with the box. If you make any changes after saving them re-boot the Foxsat to load the changes.

    Hi Graham,

    I had done the import data from Foxsat button before post #10.

    Whatever way I do it, including deleting channels in non-freesat mode, those 87 channels reappear in the CF listings!

    Suggest you start again by deleting all non freesat radio and TV. Scan just the single transponder that will give you just 2 channels (4 Seven and Channel 4 HD).

    Just did exactly that.

    All non-freesat deleted. Scanned only the one transponder.
    Saved C4HD, imported it to freesat.

    Just set a manual timer - let you know how it goes!

    Attached is screenshot of end of my channel editor list.

    I have no non-freesat channels now!

    Waiting for the manual recording!

    Fingers crossed - It will get a weird name. If you select the CH4 HD line in the epg and press info that's the name it gets. If I remember correctly if you schedule via the WebIf you can specify a name.
