On the weekend I connected a second dish pointing to Astra 19.2E to receive RTL for the F1. I followed the guide posted here which all went well. In summary, 28.8E on diseqc'd input 1, 19.2E on diseqc'd input 2, the output into LNB1 on the Foxsat. I have a loop from the LNB out to LNB2 on the Foxsat. I'm running the Media and Fileserver bundle and used the Channel Editor to make RTL visible in Freesat mode. So far so good. The problem I have now found is that I seem to have lost some of the Freesat channels when recording another Freesat channel. the same thing when I view RTL then some of the other channels are not receivable.
Some examples of the problems:
Was recording ch138 and lost ITV on ch103 and other channels seem to have gone. They just showed no signal or transmission scrambled.
Cannot record BBC1 ch101, even when viewing ch101 and nothing else recording. Just get the icon of the circle with a diagonal line through it.
If I retune in Freesat mode then all the Freesat channels record and view fine but of course I lose the 19.2E stuff.
It's as though I only have one tuner working on one polarity. Have I got a messed up setup or is this normal? When viewing something through input 1 of the diseqc'd is inputl 2 completely ignored or does it still feed the tuner?
