    Are they different channel numbers, where each channel is a different region? (i.e. each may have different regional content at certain times).

    Sorry folks , I should've been more clearer.
    The channels on the humax freeesat have lots of BBC/ itv programmes with exactly the same programmes .
    The channels seem to be in bunches .
    Plus the channels seem to be all over the place .

    101-104 = Normal terrestrial then duplicates pop,up,etc
    Also lots of the duplicates are in the 900 numbers

    Whats an channel number for 1 of these duplicate channels ?

    Are the duplicates not as someone pointed out earlier, a different BBC1 for another part of the country ?

    The 900 range channels are generally regional versions of channels found elsewhere, and should be labelled as such in your EPG. This was always the case when I used a Humax Freesat box.

    You've got SD, HD and plus 1 on many channels, I think you can set up favourites as you can with Sky but I don't bother with either of my 1100s boxes.
