    Baffled, the zero strength indication in Freesat mode but works in manual tune is totally unique in my experience. How many channels does a full non-freesat scan give you ?

    About 350. All HD channels if we had guide & could record wouldn't be nothered...

    Something major wrong here. Strongly suspect your dish is pointing at the wrong satellite. Can you post a few examples of the ones you found using manual tune.

    We have all free channels as far as I can see. BBC1 all regions, BBC2, ITV all regions, ITV2, Channel 4 and all HD channels. Many others but these are the main ones that we werre concerned about....We recently changed the LMB's on our satellite as we were having problems with Channel 4 and ITV Wales, but these are now fine.

    Baffled. You should be able to record in non-freesat mode just by pressing the record button. What happens when you select freesat mode from the menus ?

    Where are you located in France? We are down in the south and have no real problems with signals BUT......we do not have a record hard drive model. Ours is a basic Foxsat HD.

    If choose freesat mode then goes stright into postcode varification & fails....
    Yes can record current programme we are watching but sort of defeats the objrct... If we are watching it we won't want to record... We can't record the following programme for example and then there is no guide foe anything further than 1 hour in advance...
    Very frustrating... So close and yet miles away!!!

    We are just outside Paris. We were using a Sky box and basic freesat box before with no problems other than a couple of missing channels... Solved the missing channels, and decided to upgrade for Christmas... Over 200 ounds for a box that does no more than before!!

    Are you sure that your dish and/or LNB have not moved slightly.
