Does anybody know which boxes can record programmes in non Freesat mode?

Does this involve making a manual recording?

Thanks.

Nothing current.
A Foxsat-HDR can do it. (manual entered).
The custom firmware channel editor also adds several additional possibilities to what you want.

Many thanks.

What is the custom firmware channel editor and how could it help to record non Freesat channels? I've never heard of such a thing

Cheers.

The custom firmware for the Foxsat-HDR is a replacement firmware which includes the Linux application "settop" supplied by Humax. So the STB UI is unchanged. What it adds in Linux level application such as the channel editor. This can modify the Humax channel list flags and "move" a non-freesat channel into the freesat channel list..
Of course this will not provide 7 Day EPG data or freesat EPG data while on the channel but it avoids the necessity of changing to non-freesat to watch something..

The main support threads are not here and under forum rules I can not supply a link
I will mention the forum initials are AVF as I think this is permissible in this context...

Just to clarify - On a Foxsat-HDR without the CF. You cannot set even a manual timer to record non-freesat. you have to manually push the record button. You then do have some control of duration by pushing the record button a second time. The CF and the channel editor package allows the setting of a manual timer from within freesat mode. As a side effect it also allows freesat channels you don't normally have by virtue of the postcode used to appear in the epg (and in this case you do get a full working epg).
