Stephen: A tuner is tuned to the frequency of the multiplex it is receiving.
To record off n multiplexes simultaneously requires n tuners.
To record off com7, com8 and BBC B, the tuners need to be DVB-T2 capable.
It would appear that only two of the five tuners are DVB-T2.

Janet tweedy: Probably because they can't afford the Freesat EPG fee.
You can still watch using non-Freesat mode:
IDEAL EXTRA is on 11597V
Craft Extra is on 11427V
