1100 s I have switched the HDMI cable to a different location, remade the F connectors, checked that settings show two cables connected and I still cannot record two programmes and watch a different channel at the same time. When two programmes are recording I cannot change channel and so I cannot watch a programme that is not recording. Can this box truly record two different channels whilst watching another?

1100 s I have switched the HDMI cable to a different location, remade the F connectors, checked that settings show two cables connected and I still cannot record two programmes and watch a different channel at the same time. When two programmes are recording I cannot change channel and so I cannot watch a programme that is not recording. Can this box truly record two different channels whilst watching another?Yes it can, but you have to understand what programmes are on which transponders. Try entering 106 to go to BBC 1-HD. Press the instant record button. Enter 102 to go to BBC 2-HD and press the instant record button to create a 2nd recording. Because the two recordings are being made from the same transponder only one tuner is required.
Now cycle through all the available channels using the programme up/down buttons. If any are missing make a note of which they are (also confirm you have a english postcode). You may have a bad connection on the tuner 2 in connection.
Post an example of what two channels you are recording. If you confirm an English postcode I will post a list of channels you should be able to 3rd view.

Thanks Graham.......I have a Scottish post code AB30 1YXGuess that would put STV-HD at lcn 111. Makes it a bit more dificult to predict as I have a West Midlands postcode.
Try the test I suggested but use
972 for BBC 1 HD and 949 For BBC 2-HD
when recording the above two enter 978 (BBC 1- HD Northern Ireland) and confirm if you can view this channel

That way I can be positive which transponder is being used to record from. Channel 978 is a vertical polarised transponder so viewing this will confirm you can use both horizontal and vertically polarised transponders.

Hi Graham....... Great..... I can record two channels at the same time whilst watching another but....... is there an easy way to tell which programmea I can set to do that.

Confirming that I am recording ch 972 &949 simultaneously. I am watching 978Thanks your box must be working correctly.
OK lets consider what transponders you were likely to be using. 102 would be BBC 2-HD which is a national channel so would be 10773 H. 106 would be BBC 1 Scotland HD on 11023 H.
That would mean only channels on either 10773 H or 11023 H would be viewable
Perhaps you could confirm this list is correct
173 BBC Four
110 BBC Four
608 Cbeebies
949 BBC Two HD
950 BBC One Lon
951 BBC One CI
954 BBC One East W
965 BBC One West
968 BBC Two Eng
981 BBC RB 1
107 BBC Four HD
200 BBC NEWS HD
601 CBeebies HD
973 BBC One ScotHD
976 BBC One Wal HDBasically your choice of recording channel for both recordings dictates what 3rd channels can be viewed while recording two.
Ideally if possible set the two from the same transponder.
Some common combinations - all of them can be found by downloading the static Excel list linked to above
Recording any two from each group will make all other channels viewable

Thanks......looks like I cannot record regional channels (STV) if I want to record two programmes together and watch another........ so record two BBC channels and watch STV looks like a fix.
You have been a great help Graham, thanks for your patience.......it’s a pity this was not explained in the SetUp info
