This may be a question to which there's no definative answer, but here goes- what channels are available in non-freesat mode, are there any really interesting channels ('wow, who'd have thought that'd be available' kind of thing!)

Unfortunately you don't get an EPG apart from now and next as these channels are only on the Sky 7 day EPG- you can access that online here. I'm not 100% sure how you access the channels but I think you need to go into non freesat mode to scan and view them.

Yep.

Unfortunately Humax didn't think this one through. Without an EPG you can only really record manually which is useless.

Also a scan wipes out all your Freesat Schedules.

On the boxes I've had, switching modes also wipes the schedules although its not supposed to.

I am going to be pedantic. It's non not none. OP is certainly not the only one to use the wring word on DS

Code:
none
 
-pronoun 
1.
no one; not one: None of the members is going. 

2.
not any, as of something indicated: None of the pie is left. That is none of your business.


non-
  
a prefix meaning "not," freely used as an English formative, usually with a simple negative force as implying mere negation or absence of something (rather than the opposite or reverse of it, as often expressed by un-1 ): nonadherence; noninterference; nonpayment; nonprofessional.
Consider youtselves chastised.

Deeply ashamed. In my defense, it is correct in the main post. No idea why i'd title the thread incorrectly. Wobbly finger syndrome, perhaps.

wring

1 to hold something tightly with both hands and twist it by turning your hands in opposite directions

2 (ALSO wring out) to twist a cloth or piece of clothing with your hands to remove water from it:
She wrung out the shirt and hung it out to dry.
wrong
in a way that is not correct:
Then again the OP may have been using the old English variant.. 'Ye Olde None Freesate Mode'

Perhaps deep down you are an Americaphile and 'none' is an American spelling of non, just like defense is the American spelling of defence.

You can't get into non-freesat mode until you add at least 1 channel using manual tune.

If you must correct other peoples spelling, at least proof read your own post!

"wring" and "youtselves"
