    Has anyone tried playing programmes recorded on a Vu+ Zero, or any new Vu+ box on their PC?

    Would I just be able to put the other cable in if I had a single tuner. Say I want to watch the football, can I take dish 1 cable out and stick dish 2 cable in and then flick over and watch the football on dish 2?

    Waste of time doing that. Just combine the two using a diseqc switch. You cannot watch both together.

    Yeah I understand I won't be able to watch together, how much is a diseqc switch and would I get it from eBay?

    Sponsor sells them. He may be able to price match for you.

    Brilliant, so a Vu+ with softcam running connected to 2 dishes. using a DISEqC switch? Do I manually switch between the different satellites or when I select a channel from the other satellite will it just flick over automatically?

    You select channel, receiver works out what to do based on your configuration.

    If you have a fixed dish zapping to that one will be instant.
