Welcome.
It depends on what you have connected to it. For satellite, you must have two signal wires direct from Dish/LNB.

Hi sorry its for cable not sat thanks for the reply :-)
is it possible.
The Vu twin tuner modules (not satellite ones) have a built-in splitter. You connect the one signal wire to it and both tuners will use the signal they require. If you are using CCcam, you must use version 2.30.
There is nothing to do to facilitate watching one recording another. You just do it.

Ok brill thanks for your help abu baniaz.
think i understand so one cable coax the splitter does the work so you can record and watch another channel is this correct?
Thanks again appreciate it.

Sort of. Receiver does the work.
If you want to know more...
Each tuner needs to have a "signal supply" it can use.
With satellite, you cannot share/split (unless you have a unicable LNB). DVB-T (terrestrail) and DVB-C (cable) can be split/shared provided you have adequate signal. It does not matter whether the splitter is inside the tuner modules (as in your case), you use a loop through wire (not applicable to you), or you use a splitter and separate wires (not applicable to you). All that matters is you have adequate signal.

Thanks for all your help.works a treat.very happy :-)
Abu B,
thanks for the info regarding the watch/ record.
When you talk about signal, does it matter if I want to add another box or two upstairs. Will the signal level degrade across all of the boxes possibly resulting in a loss or or intermittent service?
Adding a splitter will result in a drop. You will need a powered splitter if doing so.
hi guys to expand on this, im using a single cable feed into the dual tuner which comes with the SE v2. When i start to record, all of the other channels are greyed out.
do I need to change something in the tuner config?
