Supposedly because there's no EPG information available.
This has been my biggest moan ever since I bought the Humax. I wanted to multi sat but all the functions DISCEQ and Non Freesat mode are essentially useless to me because of the lack of any kind of epg.
I never even use Non Freesat mode at all because of the timer restrictions and the fact that you miss schedule ins Freesat mode if in non Freesat mode.
Surely a company such as Humax could share some technology with Sky in exchange for the right to use their epg info for other channels / sats in non freesat mode and why the hell can't Humax make it so the box can run both modes simoultaneously so using one doesn't lose recordings in the other.
