    Single Sat tuner = One card, and also one tuner.

    Dual Sat tuner = One card, but two tuners. Best to connect satellite signal wires for best usage.

    Single Hybrid = One card, and also one tuner. You can select between Terrestrial/Cable. You can only use it in either Cable or Terrestrial mode, not both.

    Dual Hybrid Tuner = One card, but two tuners. The tuners have an internal splitter, so you only need one signal wire. You can only use it in either Cable or Terrestrial mode, not both.

    The Vu Duo2 can only accept two pluggable tuner cards. I would recommend that you get a twin hybrid card.

    People always talk about recording channels. This approach does not really lead to a good understanding of the principles. You are better off thinking in terms of frequencies/transponders/multiplexes.

    If you have one tuner, you can record/view many channels from one frequency.
    If you have two tuners, you can record/view many channels from two frequencies.

    There are different numbers of channels on different frequencies, so not easy to say number of channels.
