Installation question???
I want to get Freesat+ installed but all I am getting is a box which can record one channel while I watch another one, is that installed the same way as a double tuner as I will probably buy a twin tuner in the Summer, so will I get the same cables etc for this installation or will something be missing and I will need to ge the installer out again for the Double tuner I know it sounds long winded and apologies for any inconvience caused.

If you can record one and watch another at the same time then it will have twin tuners and will require a twin feed from the dish to the box.

I am unsure as its being bought for me, but I thought as 2 things could be done ie watch and record that they would need to have 2 cables the same as a twintuner?
If it's not a Humax box you need two cables to record two at the same time and you won't be able to watch a 3rd channel using the box as a source while recording two. |

Buy a quad LNB off Ebay, give the installer a drink and you will have TV Heaven!

I wish it was as easy as that!!!! Funny enought after a lot of searching and I was able to email them (eventually I got a reply) they told me it was a Twin Tuner and I CAN record 2 programes at the same time, its just I cannot watch a 3rd one, something I did not want to do anyway, so at last I got it sorted out, but just of a matter of interest, is this a standard installation ie if the future (far off future!!!) I want to replace my box with say a Hummy it will just be the case of a simple replace, or does different manufacturer need different installer?

I have no knowledge of DVD but certainly if you archive recordings to an external drive or USB memory stick the subtiles are preserved.
