Are there any secret menus and short cuts for this receiver?

In particular I want to attach a diseqc switch for multisat use.

I thought the foxsat supports diseqc out of the box?

I have not found that to be the case. When scanning, the satellite name is set to Freesat and greyed out and not changeable.

I can't speak from personal experience, but as nobody who can do so has, I'll give you as much information as I can. There is a hidden menu which should give you the options you need. To access it hit Menu, then Setup (the option with a satellite dish icon), then cursor right. Press Red, Greeen, Yellow and Blue in that order, then Green Yellow Blue.
This brings up the Manual Setup menu. Click on the first item in this, Antenna Setting to bring up a menu which should give you all the options you need - from there you are on your own unless someone else can talk from experience.

??????????? The link Graham posted is the one I used and it works just fine. I have Astra1 and Astra 2 working on my HDR.

Please be aware that a non-Freesat scan will remove all your scheduled recordings from the Freesat EPG, if you have any. I always write mine down before such a scan as it reduces the pain of restoring them !

In my case the scan did not find all I wanted, but that can be fixed my manually scanning a paticular frequency which you can manually input.

Enjoy
