Recording channels

[Bugsy13]

I have a vu+duo2, bought from WOS. How can i record more than two channels. Whilst watching another? Do i need to modify it.
Thanks from bugsy13

Your Duo2 probably came with one dual tuner card. If you want to reliably record more than two channels then you will need to add a second card. Available from WOS and an easy DIY fit.

Forgot the important part - you will need 4 feeds/cables from your dish so will need a Quad LNB as well as the extra 2 cables. Not expensive but can be a pain for the extra 2 cables, depending on where your dish is situated.

i have a DVB USB Turbo tuner(from WOS) that i use for recording freview channels which leaves my solo2 free to record two satellite channels at the same time, it's very good and certainly a lot cheaper than having to install another two cable feeds from the dish, i see WOS have the sundtek USB tuner at the same price as the Turbo USB Tuner, unless of course it's only satellite feeds you want to record

You need a tuner per transponder/mux being used. Youc an comfortably record six chanenls per tuner. If you have twelve channels on two tranponders, you can view/record/stream them. Once you need to use three transponders/muxes, you will need the third tuner.

The advice from davers1875 is the most economical way of doing things.
