Hi
I am located in Normandy, France.
I have an old Humax box that has worked fine until recently...
It now has the following faults.
1 It will not accept my postcode
2 It will not find a signal on the Freesat Tune.
3 It will find a signal on the manual tune, but only shows American programmes in English.
I have double checked all the connections.
My questions :-
1 if I fitted a new Hard drive will this fix the problems ?
2 Is there a serial/model number on the rear ?
3 I don't need to increase the recording capacity, but which is the best hard drive to fit ?
4 Is it difficult to fit a hard drive, if that is the problem ?
Thanks for your answers.

The first thing I would check is the LNB attached to the dish. Your symptoms don't sound to me like hard drive problems.
