I know this subject has been addressed many times before in this and other fora; I must have looked at most.
However here goes:
We live in SW France
I installed a Humax Foxsat HDR a couple of years ago to replace a Sky box; 1 LNB, small dish; however installed Freesat which worked fine though reception poor during bad weather.
So I recently upgraded the dish size and installed a 4-port LNB; 2 for the Humax (with new twin cable), 1 for the old Sky box so we could use that separately in the bedroom.
Installed OK, old Sky box working fine; Humax also working fine UNTIL I did the Freesat tune....then the dreaded "Invalid Post Code" message. Manual tune gives 400+ channels etc.
Having reviewed various threads I have done the following:
Factory reset; manual scan for transponder 11428 H 27500 only; diagnostic now shows 60-70% S & Q for both LNBs, correct transponder, loader version U7.54, software HPRSFCI 1.00.21.
Whilst tuned into this transponder have gone to channel 999 and pressed guide which shows about 4 channels. Left the box connected overnight, tried again and still can't get past the post code so presumably not finding the Freesat EPG.
Starting to get a sense of humour failure.....
Any suggestions as to what I'm missing will be much appreciated.
