I'm sorry it wasn't clear.  I don't have a 292e, but it seems that you 
have found the device and have set up working Video sources and Input 
connections.  I suppose it may be detectable as two devices, one for 
DVB-T and one for DVB-T2, and perhaps you have enabled only the first.

I would expect the default Full Scan to work, although it may find 
signals from several transmitters and lead to a need for editing.  My 
suggestion about 'links for other Transports' can avoid that, but 
shouldn't be essential.  It's found in the Transport Editor after 
several applications of the > > > key - and returns with <.

I record a lot of radio programmes, but you may only want tv.

Once you have it set up I don't think you have to switch manually.
