Record whether one or both satellite inputs are connected before diagnosing recording conflicts. Keep working feeds in their original positions.
Lights and messages
- Compare live TV and an existing recording. Failure of only one function is useful evidence; do not erase recordings as a first check.
- Freesat removed backward-guide and Showcase features from affected HDR-1100S devices in August 2025. Those missing services alone do not prove hardware failure.
A light is one clue, not a complete diagnosis. Match the indicator’s label and the on-screen message.
Before buying parts
- Use the exact receiver’s remote and power-supply specification. Have an installer confirm LNB compatibility when moving from another satellite system.
