Freesat channels on the PZ81 range - compared to the Humaxfox Freesat box

[CJROSS]

Can someone clarify if you can get the same amount of Freesat (Satellite) channels on the Panny Z81 range as HumaxFox Freesat Box or new Humaxfox PVR ? TIA chaps.

Yes, all approved Freesat equipment, whether they are discreet recievers PVRs or integrated tellys will get exactly the same channels

Thanks Phil, reason I ask is that I was sure that I read that the PZ81 range did not reciever as many Satellite channels as the Humax Freesat box.

Could it be because the Humax can be switched into non-freesat mode and recieve extra channels that way? Not sure if the PZ81 has a similar mode.

PZ81 has the option to add other satellite channels.

I just tried this to see how it worked.

Spent about 45 minutes searching and found 300+ free to air channels and another 300+ encrypted. Went through and selected a number to keep and then exited - and all I seem to have is the original Freesat channels!

Any idea what I'm doing wrong????
