HDR-1100 any good for non-Freesat use?

[red_elephant]

Hoping for some advice please.....
I need to replace my old FTA satellite box. I don't need Freesat as I've already got Freeview on a Humax Fox T2 - which is great so I'd like to go Humax for the satellite box too. So far I haven't been able to find out if the current Humax satellite receivers are good for non-freesat FTA use. I've seen references to a non-freesat mode, and to hidden menus for Diseqc setup, but not enough information to enable me to choose between a Hummy or a dedicated FTA box.

I've got 2 LNBs for two different satellites, with Diseqc switching, so I need that capability.

If anyone can shed more light on Humax abilities for this sort of non-freesat use, I'll be very grateful.

Although the G2 boxes allow you to store non-freesat channels you cannot record any of them. If you don't want to record the non-freesat channels.

Many thanks Graham - I think that answers my question - I'll have to look elsewhere. Shame.
