Hi there,
Just moved into a house that only has a Satellite. It's missing Channel 4 HD on Freesat which is really annoying as I watch that quite a bit live.
I can see there is some workaround guide if you have an old Humax box, but nothing recent and certainly on the LG tuning settings I can't see a way to add programmes, only clear and search for a specific one. I have a 2020 LG BX for reference.
Has anyone found a way around this? I see Freesat and Freeview are meant to be merging but I doubt that will be anytime soon, so do really want to get this sorted.
Thanks!
Hi all,
Moved into a new house that only has a satelite dish unfortunately. I have always had Freeview, but know Freesat exists. I am looking at an LG TV that has Freesat support but have heard how annoying the TV guide can be. Does it work if I plug in the satelite connector to the back of the TV and tune to satelite? Will I get a TV guide on the telly? I really don't want to buy a box for it, I want to use the TV Guide on the TV remote.
Never had an issue with freeview but seems that this is more complicated and want to make sure I get it right.
Thanks!
I plugged my satellite leads in and it searched, found hundreds of channels, in no order, no logic, no easy way to arrange them, no obvious program guide, nothing.
So my question is, am I doing it right? Or does it really only support the protocol and I'm better off actually buying a Freesat box?
I wonder who had to pitch that idea to the studio
So I made the mistake of buying a modern Samsung TV that apparently does not have Freeview built in. I thought that it was standard on all TV's but it seems we have gone backwards.
Anyway the only thing my mother watches is the basic Freeview channels. I'm wondering what's the cheapest option I can buy to get those channels without having to return this tv and buy a new one.
Edit: It has an aerial slot. Model number: Samsung UE55TU8000
Edit 2: So its been solved now. My girlfried plugged the wrong aerial into the tv. (We have two??) It works now after doing the autotune again. Thanks for the help and reassurance guys.
Looking for one of these as my subscription to Virgin has finished and money is a bit tighter than before so thought get one of these.
Cheers guys
I'm trying to figure out if there's a way to fix my satellite dish input to stop a small handful of the channels from being broken up. It's CNN and a couple of others that I assume are from the same frequency or source.
I have a very strong signal being reported via the Box settings menu and all other channels are working fine.
Essentially, I'm looking for a solution that doesn't involve either me or someone else tinkering with the dish outside.
Anyone know of any? Sky+ boxes don't encrypt Saorview/Freesat recordings, AFAIK, but you need special software to access the contents of the hard drive and you'll void your warranty in the process. My TV's built in DVR encrypts everything, making it impossible to pull recordings from an external hard drive without some special keys and third party software.
I see on product pages that the XH90 should be getting a Freesat update by end of the year. Is this out yet or are we still waiting on it? In the UK here, have a satellite and would need support.
Does anyone know how to take recordings off a Humax Freesat box HDD and edit it on the PC, even if I have to have it on the TV while it's transferred, tried a couple of things but stuck now? Please don't get too techy. HDMI, COAXIAL, USB? anything else, prefer not to move the box it's the only TV I have.
Thanks in advance
