    Can't record another program while watching a program ?

    Hi .recently set up os mega with 2 sat cables from sly dish. I've tuned in both a and b tuners to 28.2e satellites. Have set up cross epg to. While recording BBC 2 hd I wanted to watch itv hd but it wouldn't allow that as came up with no free tuner ?
    Any ideas anyone ?
    Something simple I presume but this all new to .me...
    I have a 500 hdd installed

    Real life:
    You have two signal wires connected to receiver.

    Software life:
    What have you configured the tuner configuration for tuner A?
    What have you configured the tuner configuration for tuner B?

    Please give two separate answers

    Was anyone streaming from receiver?

    Did you have any recordings in progress, about to start or just finished?

    Set BBC 2 to record then tried to change to itv but wouldn't allow that. I could watch BBC 1 though but nothing else

    What about checking to see if you sat lock on both tuners.

    Should see green tick for lock on sat.

    No lock would likely point to a cabling issue.

    If that was the case, it would have resulted in tune failed message. Somehow, the receiver thinks all tuners are being used.
