If you have Raydon's modded firmware installed then you can use the Channel Editor bundled with it to add non-Freesat channels as pseudo-Freesat channels and you don't need to change to non-Freesat mode to get to them. No EPG info for those added channels of course but they show up in the standard channel list and EPG.
The interesting thing about this is you can indeed record HD channels in the non-Freesat range unencrypted while still in Freesat mode, and the EPG for some of those channels still works, but when you schedule recordings on that channel it doesn't seem to work. At least, not scheduling it via the EPG. In the interest of testing this, I've scheduled a recording on non-Freesat BBC One HD (channel 5001 on my box) with manual setting... if it works, we've basically got the ability to record any HD channel unencrypted to a schedule, which is stupidly useful.
