I was recording BBC HD last night and, when I tried to switch to a different channel, the message "Recording conflict.." popped up. I was only recording the one channel and I wasn't even trying to record the second; I couldn't even view it.

In diagnostics, both inputs were showing good signal strength and quality. The only way I could find to fix it was to do a complete factory reset.

Is this a common feature with the FoxSat HDR?

I've had the box for exactly a month now and have to say I'm a tad disappointed that Humax don't seem to have built on their freeview PVR experience at all.

Diagnostics does not help, it shows the same signals from both tuners even when tuner 2 has no connection. I have had mine since last November with no real problems.

Did you by any chance first install with 1 cable and then upgrade, if so that's the reason a reset is required to recognise the second cable

I have had it show a conclct with series recordings or it appeared to. It's almost impossbile to get to the bottom of them

There was a bit of hassle with the original installation - (see here) but both cables were plugged in and up and running from the start.

It was working fine (as far as dual record was concerned) up until last night.

It's just annoying that we're still seeing the same basic issues like software glitches that the 9200T suffered from years ago and we're still having to fumble round the back for the power switch!

You can try these to confirm that you have full 2 tuner functionality :-

2 Tests for 2 tuner capability :-

Set a recording reservation on 104, can you set a recording on 136 at the same time as 104? If you can, then you must have 2 tuner capability. (104 is low band horizontal and 136 is one of the few channels on high band vertical). Stop these recordings.

Now, go to 951 BBC 1 CI and start an instant recording, go to 108 BBC HD and start another instant recording. Now tune in to any other channel and press pause. If you can pause a 3rd channel your stb is working correctly, with full 2 cable/2tuner functionality, if not you need to do a factory reset. (You can record two channels at the same time using just one tuner if they are one the same transponder, so if a "friendly" combination of channels is used it is not a true test).

Thanks Les.

Tried those tests and the box passed

I've printed those instructions out for future use!
