It doesn't interfere with ITV HD or Ch4 HD ”

On the one that can't record two at the same time first check that the two cables are connected to the outer f sockets (nothing on the middle one).

Make a note of your recording schedule.

Now go into the setup menu and press Red Green Yellow Blue Green Yellow Blue in succession.

In the menu that appears check Connection Type says "Two Cables (Same)". If it does not change the setting so it does.

After the box has reset itself try this

Start an instant recording on 104 (Channel 4 SD), Start a second on 300 (Film 4). Now tune to lots of other channels and see if you can pause them live.

Skewed lnb like you suggested, loads better most channels 100/100 rest 90/90 nothing below, many thanks
