Hi
When we record a programme we cannot watch the tv. Does anyone have this problem? Thanks
Welcome to the Forum
We need a few more details from you before anyone can help.
1. Which Humax product
2. How is it connected to TV
3. Make of TV would also help
Sorry I am new to this it is Humax foxsat-HDR. Make of TV is Samsung and connected at back with cables (not too sure what?)
Thanks
When you say cannot watch tv, do you mean other channels on the Foxsat or using the tv’s own tuner?
I mean other channels on the Foxsat. Thanks

Look round the back how many coax cables do you have attached to the Foxsat. Are they on the outer connections with a connection in between with nothing connected.
Try this and report what happens
Tune to 108 and press the record button, tune to 126 and press the record button. Press 109 on the remote, are you able to watch BBC2 HD ?
Have you got twin cable coming from your dish to your box if you only have single cable the you can only record the programme you are watchimg

Not true, both tuners are capable of working with a single cable. The Foxsat requires an external cable loop, the HDR1000/1010s has an automatically enabled internal link. You can record two and watch a third as well with some restrictions over what you can do with two cable working.
One tuner on it’s own can record two channels from the same transponder (eg BBC1 HD and BBC2 HD)
Iam learning how do you connect this external loop I am a silver surfer so thankyou in advance for your reply

See bottom of page 16 in the user manual. You need a short length of coax with a f connector on each end. You connect tuner 1 out to tuner 2 in. The box will not let you make impossible recording combinations as the software is clever enough to know what is possible. While recording two the programme up/down buttons will cycle through any other channels you can watch.
Did you sort out the English commentary on the Rugby ?

It does it automatically, but 2nd channel availability is limited depending on which channel your are recording from.

It’s only automatic on the freetime boxes. A Foxsat needs a loop cable.
