How do I configure the 2 tuners? The manual mentions "simple", "equal to" and "loop-through" but i'm not sure which is the best setting.
I have twin satellite tuners and an internal HDD.
Please help

I would setup both tuners as; Advanced, 28.2 & LNB1.

That will depend on the LNB's you have and what satellite they are pointing to.
Normally one should make a setup so each tuner gets it's own feed; a loopthrough is also possible but gives serious limitations to the looped-through tuner.

It's the same satellite dish I used for Sky & Freesat.

My original post is what I would config your tuners to. So Advanced, 28.2 & LNB1 on both Tuner A & Tuner B.

Is that a twin-LNB (so two coax cables coming from it)?

Yes - 1 each to ports A & B.
