Watching & Recording Freesat
I only have 1 lead coming from my dish, if I get a freesat box can I watch 1 channel & record another at the same time?

If possible, it is best to upgrade your install and at least have a 4 way quad LNB on your dish and have two cables feeding the Freesat+ box.
As mentioned, single feed mode offers a limited flexibility. Automan. |

You are correct, I don't visit Freesat very often. My Sky finishes today and either my box or TV has just started playing up. I suspect it is my sky box so I was toying with the idea of freesat+.

I suggest that you visit http://www.satcure.co.uk/ which will guide you to the correct replacement. If you are forced to use the same hole through your housewall then there is "shotgun" cable but is not as flexible, as single. Having used it once I would avoid it if possible. When you said a freesat box it would obviously have to be a one with a twin tuner to be able to record one & watch another. My experience is only with Humax's Foxsat HDR, which are about £270 at John Lewis for a 500 GB HDD. Welcome to freesat & freedom ! ![]() David |

If it was a Sky installation, you will have a Sky dish which is incompatible with standard 40mm neck LNBs.
