Hi
Just been cleared to use this forum, and loads of questions about the Foxsat. I've already found some answers in other postings but any help with these ones would be much appreciated
1. I'm using the Foxsat in Belgium - it works fine. I put in the UK postcode to get the machine running, but it's on UK time. Anyone know if I can change to Central European Time?
2. I've got two satellite dishes - the second one is on Hotbird. I found a post that said something about transponders - will following the instructions about adding different transponder settings in non-Freesat mode allow me to view and record Hotbird stuff too? (Does the Hotbird dish have to be connected to both wires into the Humax or will one be enough?)
3. Despite having two wires in - and the system has found them and confirms a good signal from each - when I record ITV1 I don't seem to be able to get BBC1 or some other channels. Is that normal?
4. Is it possible to display the EPG with only the "favourites" channels? What happens if you have several lists of favourites (for different users)?
5. I've been able to copy TV recording files to my PC using an external hard disc, but the PC doesn't know how to play them. Is it possible to do that? Someone said something about getting the right codec...
6. How can I make on-screen info (e.g. programming clashes) visible for longer? The messages usually disappear before I have a chance to work out what they mean.
7. How do I enter the 4-digit codes in the remote control? Our TV is a Samsung and the list of codes is endless, so how do I choose the right one?
8. I want to set the machine to record programmes as they start but the options on the machine are different from the ones in the instruction book. I've left the option set to Auto (instead of automatically adding X number of minutes) because that seemed the logical choice, but I still miss the beginning of some programmes. Or doesn't BBC support that function?
Wow, that's a lot of questions
. Love the machine but think it's let down by the instruction manual (the Freesat + features on the first inside page aren't explained further on, except series record).
Thanks in advance for any answers to any of these questions and cheers for a great website and forum.
