Humax Foxsat HDR: Invalid Postcode
I'm presently in France in my caravan and can't get my Humax box to accept my postcode so that I can do a Freesat tune. It just comes up with "invalid postcode." Unfortunately, I haven't used this box for almost twelve months as it is only used when I go away in the caravan.

Isn't that linked to the fact that the receiver can't see the Freesat EPG channel? I could well be wrong, but something like that seems to ring a bell.

Thanks for those replies.
I'm in Normandy and don't usually have a problem getting Astra 2 but on this occasion I just can't pull it in. I have a 60cm dish and had no problem here last year. |

I still haven't managed to tune in Freesat Channels but have got all of the channels using manual search. I still get the message Invalid Postcode yet I have 90% signal strength and 80% quality. The manual search indicates 100% signal and 90% quality.
Any ideas how to get around the invalid postcode, or how I can initiate a Freesat search? |

I have managed to do a Freesat tune after the box eventually accepted my postcode.
I have no idea what was wrong, but after umpteen factory resets it detected the signal and accepted my postcode. Signal strength on BBC1 is 100% and quality is also 100%. |
