Aston 1.05. I am not sure what will happen after the switch to mediaguard 3. I may need to get an official canaaldigitaal CAM.

Most Dutch channels are still on 19.2 east, only the HD and local stations have moved to 23.5 east. I have a HUMAX Freesat PVR set up to receive Freesat and Dutch channels using a CAM, it works quite good although you need to switch between freesat and none freesat modes which means you cannot...

You can combine Astra1/Horbird using a diseqc switch but to get the foxsat to recognize the switch it should be connected to tuner one. I am not sure how the receiver will react to no freesat on tuner one, but you could always put a twin or quad on your astra2 dish and add freesat to the...

The join freesat site has reported a few new channels. _http://www.joinfreesat.co.uk/index.php/ten-more-channels-to-join-freesat Channels included are: Gala TV Gems TV Inspiration TV Netplay TV Pitch World Russia Today Shop On TV TWC Fight Zone Horror Zone Reality

If you have set the HDMI output to 1080i then you could try setting it to 720p, this worked for me. As for the humax box, I would check to see if the lip-sync issue has been fixed first.

I have the Bush HD with the new software and it locks up. I managed to scan one frequency with success, but the box crashed on the second scan.

I have installed the latest software to the Bush, there is now an option to add none freesat channels. my first impressions are not very positive. It scans only one frequency at a time and then adds the whole bouquet. you cannot scan a whole satellite. No DiSEqC support Deleting channels...

It looks like it. I typed in ' 2846' from the settings menu, it brings up a hidden screen titled 'Manual Scan - Digital Satellite' from which you can scan frequenties etc. I haven't tried it but it looks promising. Bush will be updating the firmware soon to officially support adding extra channels.

I believe you can add channels by going to the service menu and entering '2846'. I haven't tried this yet so I don't know if it actually works. There will be a firmware upgrade in the near future that will add a manual tuning option to the settings menu. Btw. the Bush's tuner is much more...

You are right of course.:)

Its HD that clinched it for me, I can live without five for the time being. I could keep a sky box for updating the sky card and continue to use my dragon/topfield combination for five I suppose. What is needed is a freesat HD-PVR with twin tuner that supports Diseqc and allows you to easily...

As I will be in the UK visiting family anyway so there are no extra costs. There are several reasons why I will buy an official freesat box. Compatibility, I don't want to mess about manually rescanning after each freesat change or have to wait for the firmware upgrades to become...

This leads me to the question, will I be able to go to retailer and buy a freesat HD receiver when I pop over to the UK for a couple of days at the end of June?

I receive freesat on a standard PVR, its all FTA. There is only a now and next EPG so setting recordings usually needs to done by hand. There is also no red button functionality. On the positive side I can time shift and record program's (even after they have started). I have my visiosat dish...

The EngadgetHD website are claiming that the freesat service will be going live on friday 25 April.
