The PDF cover identifies DSI86 HD. Despite its Freesat selector filename, this is not the Sagem DTR94 hard-disk recorder. Recording in this manual uses a connected VCR/DVD recorder.
How it connects
- Satellite dish Satellite coax
- DSI86 HD TV / recorder cable
- TV / external recorder
For a timed recording, the manual requires a separately connected recorder set to the same time; keep the receiver in standby, not switched off. Check both devices before blaming the dish.
Lights and messages
- Record whether live picture appears, the receiver timer is set and the external recorder is on.
A light is one clue, not a complete diagnosis. Match the indicator’s label and the on-screen message.
Before buying parts
- Do not buy an internal hard drive for DSI86 HD based on a DTR94 manual; match the exact rear-panel connections first.
