Factory re-set in France

Hello, I have a problem to watch a channel while recording another, and with recording two channels at the same time.I think the unit has defaulted into single cable mode as there was a problem with the LNB. I have replaced it and checked the signals. They are OK and the cables are in the right inputs. My question is if I perform a factory re-set to return to dual cable mode in France there will be a problem with entering my post code. Can I just go to manual tune and go from there?
Thanks
Saltpeter

A normal reset to factory defaults should be fine. 999 is a data stream from the Freesat home transponder.

Thanks, and the lack of a UK post code will not be a problem? Just use manual tune?

Just enter any postcode within the region you want as default.
Let it auto tune.

As Reppasac says find a public building postcode in the UK region you want to get the low number channels at. All the BBC ones will be in the list at the higher numbers. you can then move any using edit channels.

Use B98 if you are happy with the Midlands regional channels. You only need the first 3 characters to establish the region.
