Your TV remote control will have a button for switching between Satellite and Freeview. That being so, the odds are that you have a quad LNB and hence the extra output needed for connecting to your television. If your Humax is a twin tuner PVR, it will already have 2 cables going from the dish. (This would require another output from the LNB on the dish. You may like to know that if another cable is connected from your Freesat dish direct to the Sat input on your television, that you would be able to watch *Freesat via the TV. Installed my own aerials (for 2 transmitters) and installed my own Freesat dish - so no need for ‘engineers’. Which mentions missing red button problems. Is it worth paying for your local TV engineer to have a look? Or maybe this will help: We have all the regions available on Freesat, but obviously have it set for our postcode in Bournemouth and only watch BBC South so we get local TV, particularly for news and weather, and not what they're watching in the Outer Hebrides. Something to do with the region setting on Freesat. Can't get HD TV through just the TV, so don't get HD on Freeview, but do on Freesat.ĭon t suppose it has anything to do with it, but when the Antiques Road Show did a segment on guessing the value of an item through the red button, they said it only worked on Freeview and not on Freesat.

I have a Panasonic TV with tuners for both Freeview and Freesat, but when the egineer installed the satellite dish and set up Freesat, he put it through my Humax box and not through the TV.
