can I have satellite channel video output on lcd?

I bought Duo2 fully expecting to be able to watch tv channels on its lcd screen.
It did not even occur to me to investigate can it do it or not.
But now I am not so sure because I can't find how.

I need this for two purposes:


1. As a control screen to see what is going on so that I can switch the TV to the input from Duo2 when needed. Otherwise the TV may be showing something from a different source.
Actually, I have connected Duo2 to one TV via hdmi and to another one via component but still not enough, because I have more sources than TVs :(

2. To use it for adjusting the dishes instead of some specialized equipment. For that purpose having the signal strength shown on the LCD screen together with some satellite and channel info could be enough.

Now I understand that the lcd screen displays only still images with a minimum refresh rate of 5 seconds.
Well I guess it could display 5 fpm video too, then. 5 seconds is also a dubious number, probably it can be done much faster.

Anyway, perhaps I can at least have the SNR value on the screen updating all the time? Then, if there is some garbage on the screen I could glance to the lcd to see if the signal had dropped, etc.

Best is to go through all the options that the L4L plugin provides.
And 'stutter TV' is one of them.

Thanks!
Stutter TV is useful for that purpose.
I also found the signal strength bar. I would prefer to have a number instead, but still. I hope it shows SNR.
