    DVB-C tuner

    Hi, i have a contract with Virgin Multimedia and got a Tivo box too.
    My question is, if i order and install an extra DVB-C tuner module in the octagon, and connect the cable from Tivo in there, will i receive the channels from Virgin then ? Is it easy to install the extra DVB-C module ?

    thnx.

    I bought this one:

    OCTAGON SF4008 4K UHD 2160p Linux Enigma 2 Receiver 2x Satellite DVB-S/S2/S2X + 1x Hybrid DVB-C/T/T2 Tuners

    I found that if I physically swapped the tuners over it became single sat and twin cable.
    I can only assume that both tuner modules are twins but one of the sockets only supports a single tuner. Hope this makes sense?

    Official VM subscription will only work in an official VM receiver.

    Some of our European friends can use their subscription cards in 3rd party receivers.
