good morning
i purchased a hdr 1010s last monday and have it set up.
my questions are can i get other satellites on my humax box in non freesat mode. naturally I have astra 28.2 but in addition 19.2 is on the same feed going into my box so is it possible?
is there a secret menu on the hdr 1010s
thank you
I see you have a comprehensive answer to this on another forum.
When you read an online mag like this…
…it is surprising what you can get in features/facilities at a very competitive cost vs Humax.
I would love to find an answer to this question in relation to the HDR10002. I have tried emailing Humax support for an answer but no response.
I don’t think anyone has tried, nothing reported anyway. Yes there are 2 secret menus, discovered to date. Access is the same as on the Foxsat. Not much you can do on the Antenna menu (when I last looked). Some features on the standard menu, much as the Foxsat.
What you don’t mention is how you switch from 28.2E to 19.2E DiSEqC? If so was it connected on setup?.
It was not connected for two satellites at initial setup.
I was hoping for a similar facility to the one I have with my other receiver (Humax Foxsat.
I tried the hidden menu (RGYBGYB) but it does not come up with the DiSEqC option.
It is hard to believe that Humax dispensed with the Foxsat facility when introducing a newer model
I noticed the antenna menu did not include a DiSEqC option but had seen a comment that it should be detected on setup.
No idea if it will be added, if you are interested try a factory reset and see if any functionality.
I imagine if you have a way of manually switching a non-freesat scan will pick up the channels.
Thank you for your suggestions. I tried the factory reset with my two LNBs and switch in place. After which the installation went as predicted. However, at no time did I even find an Antenna menu. What sequence of operations did you use to get that menu?
Thank you for your interest.
To get the Hidden Search antenna menu, highlight Transponder and press RGYBGYB. Last time I looked (It can trigger a retune) there was nothing of interest there (as yet anyway).
I hope that you are as delighted as I am. I have explored the settings menu and your advice brings up a selection of satellites and DiSEqC options. Cannot wait to try a full setup tomorrow. Will keep you and the rest of the forum posted but I am very confident that you have found the answer.
Thank you so very much
Please also post if there are any others options such as SCR.
Would look but SWMBO has a long recording schedule. As much info as possible please.
The secret menus are in the same place as on the Foxsat.
My purpose is to receive RTL Germany to see F1 when not on the BBC
RTL Germany on Astra 12188H 27500 ¾ FTA
Method
Settings – System Settings – STB Mode – Change to non FreeSat
(Assume no channels selected)
Search Channels – User Defined – Enter details as above and save
Return to Search Channels and press in sequence RGYBGYB
This opens the hidden menu to enter in my case
Fixed Dish – Astra1 – DiSEqC A
Job done
There are only DiSEqC options on the switch type menu.
Thank you again for all your valuable help
Given the above I was very surprised to receive the following from Humax Support later in the day
Thank you for contacting Humax Support.
I apologise, but the tech team say that’s not a possibility on the 1000s.
Best Regards,
Make of that what you will, Cheers

I would assume it’s because the method posted above isn’t achieved via the standard user settings, but via a hidden service menu.
Also as they’re under contract from Freesat they’re probably not allowed to discuss certain non-Freesat functions.
I would assume it’s because Humax support aren’t always the fount of all knowledge.
macbaz85 – As you are the first, that I have heard of anyway, to venture into DiSEqC on this unit, Is all functioning as expected?
if you have any questions, I expect that it is much the same as on the Foxsat which has quite a few DiSEqC users.
I am not surprised that support know little of this area and some others. It does however show the value of forums such as this.
