Give the Freesat tuner input a lower order number than the Freeview. Otherwise you may encounter situations where a program doesn't record at all (or records later) because it couldn't record it on the higher priority channel, even if it was on another channel earlier. Note that this applies to ALL programs & channels, not just the channels you listed--the scheduler will try to record on that input first and will switch to the Freeview in case of a conflict or a program that's not available on the Freesat input.<br>
