Recording 2 channels
My default BBC1 is East. When attempting to record a film on BBC1 and at the same time recording a film on channel 5 I got
a conflict message. After many attempts and all with the same result I changed from BBC1 East to BBC1 London and as if by magic it was accepted. Can anyone offer any suggestions as to why this would happen? Many thanks. |

Sounds like you are using a Foxsat with only 1 cable and the loop. Swapping regions enabled you to find a BBC region whose polarisation matched the recording that tuner 1 was recording.

Try this Goto BBC1-HD and start an instant recording, goto BBC-HD and start a second. Now try a broad selection of channels you should be able to view and live pause any of them. If you can't, then either do a factory reset and watch for the 2 cables found message or go into the setup menu and press Red Green Yellow Blue Greem Yellow Blue in succcesion. You should get a secret menu, Connection Type should say 2 cables (same), if not change it. . |

Many thanks for your interest and help. Your first suggestion with regard to instant recordings (BBC1 HD and BBC HD) and pausing various channels worked a treat. However when I tried instant recording of BBC1 and Channel 5 only Channel 5 recorded!
Is there any point in doing a factory reset? |

Is there any point in doing a factory reset? ![]() BBC1 East is on 10788 V BBC1 London is on 10773 H Channel 5 is on 10964 H So you can see the key appears to be the polarisation. (H -Horizontal V - Vertical ) Before a reset can you try recording your default BBC1 East and see if you can record the other CH5 offerings. 128 Channel 5 + 1 129 5 USA 130 5 USA + 1 131 5* 132 5* + 1 Now try using the other Vertical BBC1 Regions with the Channel 5 variants 10788 V 201 BBC Parliament 952 BBC 1 E Mids 953 BBC 1 East (E) 964 BBC 1 Wales 963 BBC 1 W Mids 967 BBC 1 Eyrks*L 971 BBC 2 W 10817 V 110 BBC ALBA 956 BBC 1 NE & C 957 BBC 1 NI 958 BBC 1 Oxford 961 BBC 1 South 962 BBC 1 S West 969 BBC 2 NI 10847 V 108 BBC1 HD 109 BBC HD Beginning to wonder if it's a lnb issue. |

Once again thanks. It appears that I can record any two V channels at the same time and also two H channels at the same time but cannot mix them. Does this make any sense?

Try recording 143 Men & Movies 12560 V and 115 ITV3 10906 V together and then 515 Vintage TV 12643 H and 105 Channel 5 10964 H If they don't work, look at the secret menu I posted earlier. |

My Foxsat sometimes complains that there's a conflict when there isn't. I've also seen others comment on the Foxsat unexpectedly reporting conflicts. Next time I'll take note of which channels are involved: perhaps yeslek has stumbled on a bug or a dodgy LNB and the same could apply to me.

The plot thickens!
Tried to access secret menu but was met by a no entry symbol top right. I will probably do a factory reset later and see if that changes anything. |

You are a genius Graham.
I ignored the no entry and there it was - the secret menu and sure as eggs, connection type was 1 cable. Changed it to 2 cables and did a factory reset and you probably know the rest. Am now able to record BBC 1 and Channel 5. Thanks again. |
