Users of the Foxsat-hdr with only 1 cable using a London postcode are not able to record BBC2 and ITV1 at the same time because London ITV is vertically polarised and BBC 2 is Horizontal and has no regional variants using vertical polarisation. They can't record 101 and 103 together either but a workaround exists for this (use say 951).

I think I have a solution, what is needed is a horizontally polarised ITV region at 103 and using 977 for London ITV. ITV1 Thames Valley on 10832 H looks the best candidate so all you now need is to find a postcode that uses this channel as the local ITV. Anyone know what a suitable postcode might be ?


You may lose BBC Radio London but this can be added in non freesat mode

I presume Windsor counts as Thames Valley?

The head office of Centrica in Windsor postcode is SL4 5GD.

Answers why my "single cable setup" caused by my original install and my "london" postcode meant I couldn't record BBC and ITV at the same time.
