    Newbie with first post.

    I have a Foxsat HDR that I use in France. Installed it last month and am very pleased with it. I have a single LNB and am not able to change to a twin. I have tried recording two channels using the loop through facility and this seems to work reasonably well. However one of the recordings suffers from some pixilation.

    Is this normal?

    It’s not normal, is your tuner 1 signal a bit marginal on the channel you recorded with some pixellation ?

    Thanks for the feedback.

    I’m not sure I understand what “a bit marginal on the channel…” means.

    I’m new to Freesat.

    Which channel did you have an issue with recording ?

    I can’t remember what the combination was. It may have been BBC1 and BBC2 as I remember at one time being “told by the box” to switch the BBC2 recording to BBC2 Wales!

    I’ll do some experimenting when I’m next in France in January.

    Basically you need to start a recording on a channel that is not on the suspect transponder but is the same frequency band and polarisation as the suspect channel. This will tie up tuner 1, now tune to a suspect channel and use Menu – System – Diagnostics to look at tuner 2 strength and quality.

    While recording you can flick through all the channels that tuner 2 can access by using the programme up/down buttons.
