Not sure if this will help.

I do remember in the early days if you use a motor the Foxsat effectively reverts to a single tuner for Freesat operations. It works OK using diseqc and multiple lnbs ( I had a small dish on 19.2E for a while).I read that too and it says in the menu "one cable".
At present, as a test, I am recording both BBC One South and ITV+1 and viewing ITV2. I assume that means I must be using two tuners?Should be impossible
Even with two
cables
961 BBC 1 South 10817 V
112 ITV+1 10891 H
113 ITV2 10758 VKingofsat shows itv1 +1 at 10758 V. It might have moved in Feb.
Anyway my plan of switching to 145 before standby did not work. A planned recording for BBC1 did not start. When I switched it on it said there was a conflict with the current channel (145) only when I cancelled that did it switch to BBC1 and start recording.
Would that have worked if I had two cable (one feed - loop through) or would the same problem still exist?
Very strange, I can't get at my Foxsat-hdr to check the transponder but this is a very recent data dump.
112 ITV +1 TV-SD Freesat Open 10145 270 2358 2359 2358 2360 2360 freesat 28.2E 10891 22000 H
You can easily check the transponder by pressing opt+ while viewing the channel.
The Custom Firmware has a satinfo package that details the transponders for each channel.
I don't think any ITV channels have moved this year unless it happened today (If it had your Foxsat wouldn't pick it up till tomorrow during overnight housekeeping.
Yes it would have worked if ITV+1 really is on the transponder you think. The rules are any two channels can be recorded providing they are in the same frequency band (high/low) and polarisation. A third channel can be viewed if it shares a transponder with either recording. (in the special case if both recordings are from the same transponder (only 1 tuner is needed). In this event any 3rd channel meeting the band and polarisation requirements can be viewed.
In this case all are low band vertical.

I thought of a temporary workaround to set a manual recording on one of the "good" channels, for one minute, 15 minutes before a real scheduled recording. (i.e. wake it up on a good channel) I tried this and it worked.
You don't need to actually record anything. One of the options for a manual recording is watch, this wakes the box completely and switches to the channel but other than tbe time shift buffer it doesn't record anything. Did you try the simple test to see if you have full dual cable recording capability ?
