    Switching tuners

    Finally got around to connecting my H7S for satellite, terrestrial works fine. I got it configured by WoS to be Freesat ready. Damned if I can get any channels am I missing something obvious. I was looking for a button/s to switch between tuners.

    You select the channel, the receiver then selects the appropriate tuner. Have you scanned both tuners? Have you created bouquets? If so, how?

    Right an update. If I push TV button and then green button, satellites, I get a list of channels. Having done a scan on tuner B I now get freechannels most of which I do not want.
    I suppose it is too much to be able to just scan Freesat channels, otherwise it is delete hundreds of others. Am making the assumption that WoS only set it up for Freesat on tuner A and leave B free.
    And one final question not related to the receiver but about the cable. I have run some new cable indoors and it is much thinner than what was there before. Lots of the F types are too big and will not grip the shield, is this the norm now?

    Please do not start a new thread, respond to this one.

    Please post a screenshot of Menu > Information > Device
    This is so we can see which tuners you have for ourselves, so we can help you better.

    You are better off using ABM to make bouquets for Terrestial as well as satellite channels. Please enable the provider name to bouquets so you can distinguish between Freesat and Freeview
