Have you set Tuner "B" as second cable of Tuner "A" in the Tuner Configuration?

I have a motorised dish so Tuner B reads "second cable of motorized LNB Tuner A"
You dont want loopthru so unless you can change it to the same as above (without the motorized bit if you have no motor) then your best bet will be equal to.
Sorry dont know exactly what as havent setup a fixed dish but i'm sure someone will come along and put you right if no luck.

no since it is a twin lnb then equal to
loopthrough is to be used for single lnb

u can't tune to another channel not on the same polarity (H or V)

if u open the channel list while recording, u'll find some channels are white while others are grey. u can only switch watch/record those white channels.
