Foxsat HDR doesn't 'see' 2nd LNB
I've had one LNB and a loop cable into the HDR for quite a while. Just fitted a new dish with 2nd LNB, to give me the full flexibility for recording, rescanned, but things are no different - I'm still getting greyed-out channels when I'm recording two and try to view a third.
I don't recall changing any settings to use one LNB only, and can't see anything obvious in the menus to re-set it to two LNBs. I know that both the new LNB feeds are working fine because if I take both out and then plug each separately into LNB1, I get live tv. Any helpful suggestions, please? (realise this is 'technical' but it seemed more relevant to 'Freesat recorders') |

Have you tried a factory default as that should then pick up the second.
Edit: Slightly beaten to it

Thanks to you both. Presumably I'll lose my non-freesat channel settings when I do the re-set?

Enter the Setup Menu. Press RED GREEN YELLOW BLUE GREEN YELLOW BLUE (don't look at the screen). Select antenna settings. Change connection type to Two Cables (Same). |

Thanks Graham - I did try the RGYBGYB way first, but it still didn't find the second feed plus I ended up with bits of the set-up menu corrupted. Kept my settings though... But I ended up doing a factory reset and re-doing the non-freesat channels. All working fine now, able to view all 3 progs that were on at 9 last night, at last - success!
