Scanning again in Non-Freesat Mode
Hi,
I haven't been able to find a definite yes/no answer for this so far on Digital Spy so am creating a new post. I use my Freesat HDR quite often in Non-Freesat mode to watch Sky News, German TV from Astra 1 and for one or two radio stations from the UK. I've only ever done one scan for Non-Freesat channels just after I bought this receiver because I understand that all my Freesat EPG schedules will be deleted if I do it again. Since we have now had a software update, should I now be able to go ahead and scan again without this problem? Thanks. Last edited by Miriyo : 27-11-2009 at 11:23. Reason: Typo |

If you wish to get the new FTA HD stuff on Astra 1 you will need to input the transponder details in manually and then scan. For example Servus TV HD you need to input 10302 H DVB-S2 8PSK 22000 2/3
This is very useful to set that sort of stuff up http://en.kingofsat.net/pos-19.2E.php Enjoy

I see on that list that they have "Das Erste HD" so it'll be interesting to see whether that is a proper simulcast or not.
Luxe HD, Servus HD and Anixe HD are already broadcasting regular HD programmes fta.

Can someone remind me how to do a re-tune? When I got my HDR I got a feed from 19.2 via a disecq switch so I could watch German Eurosport. I can't remember the menu/button sequence to get to the re-tune bit...must be my age!

![]() Assuming you wish to do a rescan of 19.2 you need to use the secret menu. Go to Setup and highlight Manual Tune, then press RED, GREEN, YELLOW, BLUE, GREEN, YELLOW, BLUE on your remote. Then select Manual Tune and then select Astra 1 19.2 as the satellite. Then scan. If you want any of the German FTA HD stuff you will need to scan the individual transponder. This requires the input of the individual parameters and you will get them. |

Doubt it, more likely its because of lack of use. It was reluctance on my behalf to do a non-Freesat scan because of the loss of scheduled recordings. However that is irrelevant with the software upgrade

I rescanned last night and also had to Google "Freesat secret menu" as I couldn't remember how to tune in channels from Astra 1.
As the other poster points out, Das Erste HD and ZDF HD were found no problem but are just promos at the moment until the Vancouver 2010 games (I only listened to the voiceover for a minute or so). I've stored them anyway and removed all the extra rubbish channels that were found. Thanks to our recent update, when I returned to Freesat mode, all my schedules were as I'd left them

Quick question - since the latest firmware update can you tune in the multiscreen services associated with BBCi?

You can see sky's BBC multiscreen using these setting's on non freesat mode at Astra 28.2, freq 11.953 H , 27500, 2/3, you can then choose any audio track on the 6 screens to listen to your choice of screen. ![]()

Are there any continental or other Sports channels that can be added?
And on that list of Kingofsat listings, what do you actually do with them? How do you add their details to make it all work? |

Basically you need the following information Transponder Frequency (MHZ) eg 10832 Polarisation (Horizontal or Vertical) H or V Symbol Rate eg 27500 Error Correction (FEC) eg 2/3 On a hdr you select manual tune then change the transponder from all by pressing right/left till you get to the one you want to scan |
