My first post on this forum, so please excuse any protocol violations.
I put my Foxsat-HD into storage when I bought one of the last Panasonic plasmas which had dual tuners, so Freesat HD built in. Just dusted it off for use in a bedroom (annoyingly I can't currently find the remote, so using the limited controls on the box).
On first use it said new channels added so I clicked yes, it had retained and verified my postcode. (M?)EnU displays on the box, the normal channel tuning screen appears, but makes no progress, screen goes blank, box reboots Humax screen (with Ver. No. U7.22 appears), APPL loads, returns to last viewed channel. The same thing happens when I have tried a Freesat Tune. However a manual tune skipping over the defaults works but lists some 400 TV channels, many duplicates, all in the 5000s.
My old stored Freesat settings are missing some channels including BBC1, and the HD channels, however most of these seem to be there on the manual tune.
Signal strength & quality are both 100%. Software version is not the latest but 1.00.23 (25/10/2009). I've sourced a copy of .28, but not sure if attempting to load it will improve things. I've resisted a factory reset so far in case I loose what channels I have; thought I'd post here first!
Apologies for the length,but I'd welcome your advice re:
- what to do next!
- how to update software if that would help;
- recommendations for a replacement Humax or generic remote, if we can fix it.
Many thanks!
I couldn't remember if you needed to push an extra button.
