Recording 'other sat programmes' How to do it?

I have a Panasonic TV with a Blu-ray recorder and have been receiving Freesat for some time. I've now found the 'other sat' channels, but I don't know how to record one if I need to do so.

I realise that the 'other sat' channel has to be showing at the time, and I also realise that this can't be pre-set with the timer.

Anyone done this?

Haven't got one yet but apparently you Can't Record Non-Freesat.

Please ignore my answer above for some reason I thought you were referring to the new humax 1000s.

Anyway I have Panasonic Freesat TV and I'm pretty sure that will record "other channels" Sky News etc. But I haven't tried this yet as I haven't got a spare HHD to plug in to it.

Thanks, IQ1, when I have tried to record 'other sat', the recording is actually a Freesat channel, so I imagine that it can't be done as per your first post.

We'll see if anyone else comes up with anything.
