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?

Yes it mentions postcode. It is correct in the TV menu - and even added my
street name and house number.

Could it get the postcode off the internet? I notice things like Google
think I'm in a nearby post code.

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.
