Default FreeSat.

Set gives you the choice of FreeSat or other. The FreeSat mode has no

Sounds like in freesat mode it is filtering out channels that don't
match your postcode, you said it didn't have any postcode entered?
Did it ask for one when first out of box, or after a factory reset?

Takes about 1/2hr to tune too.


My linux box with DVB-S2 tuner takes about that long to scan all
transponders, given a "seed" transponder and learning the rest from the
SI tables it sees.
