[QUOTE="alec, post: 887525, member: 176125"] After a few hours of frustratedly trying everything - including up the ladder at the LNB - I have discovered a quirk with the (otherwise excellent) Humax HDR-1010 (and maybe with the 1000). After receiving the new box a couple of weeks ago, while running down a stock of programmes on the old Foxsat box, I set the 1010 up to test in our kitchen - where there is only one cable to the LNB. Everything worked OK, with the usual limitations of 1 cable, until I set it up in the living room and connected both cables. Still the message "Freesat box is working on 1 cable". Tried the cables one at a time - OK, on either tuner. You can imagine the rest of the head-scratching investigations.:mad: Eventually discovered that the only way to persuade the box to recognise that two cables are connected is to do a factory reset. The moral of the story is - avoid using an HDR-1010 on a single cable unless you are prepared for the consequences. [/QUOTE]
