From what I've read, it doesn't have DiSEqC support right now, but the G2 standard specifies some DiSEqC support and Samsung have said they will update the box to G2 standard when it is launched in a few months time. Re G2 : http://wotsat.techradar.com/news/fre...id-tv-03-03-11 Quote:
DiSEqC switching, as part of SCR, with DiSEqC 1.2 for motorised sat still a possibility for the final version of the spec.

Try this
menu-settings-channel-service mode-non freesat this opens up for manual or automatic tuning with a banner for all the satellites available |

I'm also interested in this. I want to watch F1 next year, but I am not prepared to may £600 for the privilege. I have only just escaped Sky, I won't be going back.
RTL / R5Live seems to be the option of choice. |
