    Backup Tuner

    I have my duo2 with the dual satellite tuner built in and a dual cable tuner also installed now fairly often the wife will be recording programs off both satellite tuners stopping me from being able to setup recording something or selecting a channel on the normal epg

    Is there anyway of setting up the duo2 to use the cable tuners as an alternative automatically when both satellite tuners are being used this way i wont get constant warnings about timer conflicts

    Cable tuner is installed in the duo2 not on a separate box so want to know if it's possible to fallback to the cable tuner when all sat runners are busy

    You cannot watch a satellite service/channel on cable. You can set alternatives. So if the main channel is not available, you will use the alternative.

    Sorry. Read it wrong. Thought you had a separate box. DOH
