I have an 80cm dish alligned at Astra 2, there is also a monoblock on it which is able to pick up Astra 1d/3a @ 23'e. I have a GUFSAT01HD Freesat box. Is there any way of adding Astra 23'e to it?

Welcome to the forum fortec.1981

Well if you wanted multisat, why buy a freesat stb, I personally have no idea and have never even heard of that make of freesat box. If there is a way of allocating a 2nd lnb in the setup, I would have thought you could but really have no idea. What does the user manual say?RTFM

The handbook probably tells you nothing, certainly the one on the Grundig site doesn't.

Is there a section in the menu for "other satellites"? The Humax is capable of DiSEqC control, but not sure about the Grundig.:) Your TM5200 will certainly handle the other channels much better than the Grundig will ever do.:)

Not sure this model has DiSEqC or back door menu. Googled it and nothing highlighted :)

I thought the O/P had a GUFSAT01HD :confused

Where did the Humax and Grundig come into the equation :cool:

The GUFSAT01HD is a Grundig box.
