I would like to have some channels on both freesat and non-freesat, and I cannot figure out how to do it !
Anyone with some ideas ?
Assuming you have used manual tune to add the non-freesat channels you want then find them in channel editor and select visible and freesat. The channels will appear in list in freesat mode. Update the channel list file using the button. Either key in the channel number or add a shortcut on the webif remote page. If the channel you add from Non Freesat happens to be also on Freesat (For instance the other version of ITV1-HD) you will also get it on the freesat epg.

The channel I want is BBCHD, 109, I add that as a group and tick only it, but it does not show up in Channel Editor !
After you have scanned the non-freesat channels you want – you need to import the channel list from the Foxsat unless you wait until tommorow after housekeeping. You will need to locate the channel which will have a number in the 5000 series.

Why do you want two identical entries for BBC-HD in your epg ? What conceivable advantage do you gain ?
I think I must be missing something really so simple it isn’t funny..
I want to have BBCHD both in Freesat and non-freesat, because I may want to save the non-freesat version to view on my pc unecrypted.
Thanks everyone,, got it !!! I didn’t read properly….

To record a HD channel without encryption you need to go into non-freesat mode and reboot the hdr and manually start a recording. The channel editor allows you to set a manual recording reservation for non-freesat channels while staying in Freesat mode but it doesn’t let you do the above.
Forgetting the channel editor and the modified firmware.
Selecting manual tune and scanning all transponders adds all fta channels from 28.2/28.5E and creates a new mode on your box (it leaves you in non-freesat mode) and with dozens of extra channels. You now have a new menu item to switch between modes.
You can’t record freesat reservations while in Non Freesat mode.
Once you have a stored list of non-freesat channels the channel editor lets you view and record them without switching modes. For any channel that’s not part of the freesat channel line up you can’t watch/record while a freesat recording reservation is active.
For example Sky News isn’t a Freesat channel, once tuned you can watch it without switching modes by simply using it’s channel number if you use the channel editor to add it to the box as a psuedo Freesat channel. If you are watching it when a Freesat recording is due to start then it won’t until you tune to a real Freesat channel.
One usefull feature is that it means you can record the BBC interactive streams as if they were real channels.
you use the channel editor to add it to the box as a psuedo Freesat channel.
This part escapes me, I cannot find the way to add a new channel on my screen. I see how I can add a Group, but not a single channel.
I really like the idea of being able to record the streaming BBC channels, Wimbledon is about to start !!!!
Have you used manual tune to create some non-freesat content ? If you have not there won’t be any non-freesat channels for the editor to find. At the bottom of the Settings menu is there a Item that says STB Mode with 2 options freesat and non freesat ?
Channels added this way will have channel numbers in the 5000’s.

The stream channels are freesat channels and should appear in the channel editor with channel numbers in the 1000 series – they have a hidden attribute which you can change.

yes I have done that and have a list of some 300 channels. And when I use the channel editor I see some are labled freesat and have a default setting to hide or unhide and also non-freesat, so far so good.
Hi, where can I download a channel editor for my Humax foxsat tuner please? Also how can I manage my tuner so I can timer record non-freesat channels please? Sorry if these questions have been already asked but any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks
Raydon’s custom firmware allows you to edit the channel list.
You can set up manual timers from the Schedule by OK’ing the dummy entry at the end of the list.
