Foxsat-HDR not choosing input to record/view
I have one of these for about 3 years and allowed all updates and am very pleased with it.
However I was under the impression that having 2 LNB inputs (and they both work as I have checked) one can record a channel and still have the full range of channels to view - presumabaly as it should select the other LNB input. It isn't an Octo LNB problem on my 60cm dish as Sky on one of ther boxes seems OK at all times My Foxsat doesn't seem to and so channels that are on the same freqency/polarisation are dimmed out and not selectable when a recording is taking place. Is it just me or is this a known problem that can be "got around"? |

Can you try powering off the other boxes sharing the lnb (it's not unknown for a problem power supply on sky bpxes to screw up other sat recievers sharing the same lnb. If the problem is still there, make a note of the recording schedule and do a factory reset (Watch for two cables found message). |

If the Humax works perfectly on the "Sky" cables and the Sky box behaves like the Humax was then that suggests a cable problem. If however you have already swapped the boxes round and the Sky box works perfectly normally on the "Humax" cables then that does suggest the Humax has a problem. |

Can you just confirm that you have tried a Sky box on the cables plugged into the Humax and that works? Or that you mean a Sky box on two other outputs of the LNB is working OK?
