BBC HD channels in Non-Freesat mode. Do they exist?
A year or so ago I recorded and edited an unencrypted HD channel by using the Non-Freesat mode. I wanted to do the same thing yesterday with a BBC HD programme but couldn't find the channel. Channels 5171 and 5438 are described as BBC HD but neither have any reception.
Are the BBC channels to be found in Non-Freesat mode? Thanks for any guidance. |

Thanks - what exactly is this DVD-S2?
Prior to starting, I did an 'all transponder' manual tune. Shouldn't that have found BBC HD? I'll have a go with your data anyway. Thanks again. |

As it sounds - entered N-F mode, did manual tune, then went looking for the channel I wanted. Are you sure about channel duplication resulting from this? A re-tune of standard Freesat or, indeed, Freeview doesn't require you to delete existing channels first.

What is DVD-S2 exactly? Yes sure about non-freesat. Scanning more than once duplicates existing channels with nrw channel numbers and adds any new ones. Use the list command in non-freesat to see if you have more than BBC1-HD and BBC-HD. Scanning freesat is quite different the epg gives you the channel numbers and it replaces you channel line up with a new one. |

Might be stating the obvious, but if you press the button to list HD channels only (is it the red button in the channel list? pressed a few times until it shows HD only?) it's a lot easier to find what you're looking for in Non-Freesat mode.

are these different to the freesat channels?
on the echostar if a channel is in the freesat epg I don't think it can be added in non freesat mode. |
