Thankfully my box still works ok after the update, it looks like the update has knackered some boxes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pincher Posted December 4, 2003 Report Share Posted December 4, 2003 That's all very well, but I still won't be able to record late night Men & Motors and L!ve TV whilst watching the 10 minute Freeview on the smut channels!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biturbo Posted December 8, 2003 Report Share Posted December 8, 2003 So does that mean that you can tape two different channels AND watch a third at the same time? or what? I've just taken the plunge today. Installation on Friday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newbie123 Posted December 8, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2003 Not exactly, You can record two channels and watch something you've previously recorded. But you can't for example record a film and a football match and then watch sky news. I assume thats because it only has two tuners and therefore only two live sky channels can be broadcast at once. But it's great for when you're going out and two programmes clash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markpaq Posted December 8, 2003 Report Share Posted December 8, 2003 No is the short answer. You basically receive two channels and can record either or both but you can only watch one of the two you are recording. I also found out on mine last night whilst recording two channels that if you try to look at a synopsis of another program in the tv guide page it tells you that you can't do that either because dual recording is taking place. Even after all that though it is an great tool and much better than good old VHS (in a user friendly sort of way). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foggy Posted December 8, 2003 Report Share Posted December 8, 2003 Although I guess you could record two Sky channels and watch a third on terrestrial TV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
