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
