    Only one recording/viewing at once?

    Hello! Got my 51 today. Using standard Arial as I have Sky Q (so don't think I can use that?). But, it only allows me to watch and record one thing. Is that normal? I'm sure even my old YouView box allowed 2 things at once? Thanks!

    A tuner with a signal wire connected allows you to access one frequency. Some frequencies have lots of services/channels, others do not.

    For your setup, you can simultaneously access one frequency on satellite( if you have hybrid LNB and it is connected) and one frequency on terrestrial. If you want to access a service/channel on another frequency, that will not be possible.

    The Youview boxes have more than one tuner, although they only have one aerial connection.

    Thanks! So if I replaced the satellite tuner with another standard tuner (but still the one aerial feed) would that work?

    You can share/split an aerial. So yes, you can use two terrestrial tuners.
