    Loop Through or Sat A Sat B

    I have a normal LNB with two coaxes running into the two inputs on the HD51. Should the tuners be set to 'Loop Through' or Sat A Sat B? What is the difference between the two connections?

    Thanks

    You need a feed going into Tuner A and a feed going into Tuner B to fully utilise your receiver.

    Thanks for the quick reply. I was on Loop Through. Now Tuner A and B tuned as:

    AVL6211 (DVB-S2) 1KR/L/M/N
    Simple
    19.2E Astra

    With that setup I should Be able to record 2 channels and watch a recorded program at the same time, is that correct?

    If I want to record more than 2 programs at the same time I will need a Unicable, is that correct
    ?

    See both tuner the same, you'll be able to watch and record across two transponders, so will be more than just 2 channels.

    You'll gain nothing with a Unicable LNB because the tuners in the HD51 are not FBC tuners.
