tuner problems ,

[petehill]

i am a new owner of a mutant hd51 duel tuner , bought from wos..one cable and the other sat. i get sat channels ok . the problem with the cable tuner is i only get channel 5 but its pixelated, i have set it up for only FTAHD only. even with channel 5 i still cant watch it while recording off the sat channels. it says theirs a problem with my tuner configuration. do i loop through the tuners ?

I do not think there are any FTA HD channels on cable?

Have you got virgin broadband or virgin TV currently?

So you are splitting the main cable so one is going to your router and one is going into your receiver right?

[garryboy]

Why did you get a sat tuner?

Surely you'll get plenty of FTA channels via that?

i thought i orderd a twin sat box, but must have click on wrong tuner, didnt think it would have mattered much and kept box. how wrong was i . now trying to make the best of a bad situation.

The bit the plugs into the TV or card is generally not a F Plug

[Huevos]

The socket on the aerial is F. The socket on the STB is Belling Lee.

They are all different between the manufacturers.

The 3T Combo and DM500C have the F-plug.
The Vu and LX3 have the belling lee.

Important thing is to see what you have and what adapter you need.
