Must admit i've never heard of STB mode; i'll take a look at YouTube.

AIUI first generation Humax Foxsat HDR boxes can have custom firmware added that will allow the adding of channels to the channel list (that will appear in the EPG but with very limited programme info) and can be recorded using non Freesat mode and entered manually.

However, once they're added to the EPG you don't need to switch to non freesat mode to record them. Simply set up a manual timer from within the Freesat EPG and it's done.

You can even set it to record once only, daily (inc weekdays only), or weekly if it's a series.

Is this similar to the STB mode that you describe?
