Humax Foxsat Diseqc Instructions

I want to manually tune to a few Italian channels on Hotbird in non-freesat mode while keeping a 2 cable connection in Freesat Mode. I have two dishes, with two cables each going to two DiSeqc switches. How is it done? All Google searches point to http://foxsat-hdr.wikispaces.com/DiSEqC which leads to a page saying "This wiki has been deactivated"!

I have the advanced menu coloured button sequence, but navigation round the menus is booby trapped - It normally results in me losing all the Freesat tuning! Humax so far have not come up with anything. Can anyone help?

Replied to your post elsewhere.

Is this any good: http://www.astra2sat.com/freesat/dis...gs-on-freesat/

Yes, that looks good. Thanks.

However, It looks very much like what I have been trying to do. It does not explain why the first antenna signal detected was on DiSEqC C rather than A. I had assumed that the first antenna detection would result in that satellite being allocated to DiSEqC A. I'll have to experiment some more. It may be the reason I keep getting trapped into an unwanted Freesat re-tune, which results in me losing all my recording schedule.

If anyone can spell out how to avoid being forced into a Freesat re-tune when doing a DiSEqC setup I'd be very grateful.
