Hi All,

Daft question but I have replaced my SKY BOX with a TM-NANO-SE Plus.
Can anyone tell me where i need to connect both cables into the TM? I need to be able to record whilst watching a different channel.

Thanks

If you have two tuners connect both cables - one to each tuner input

Hi Adm
on the back I have Tuner In, Tuner Out and LNB INPUT
I tried to connect cable to LNB INPUT and other to Tuner in but it failed to display anything

Connections as you've posted. Have you actually set up tuners correctly and run a scan?

Did you order an extra satellite tuner with the box?
If so I guess the fixed tuner input is labelled LNB input and the extra plug in tuner is labelled tuner in.

If you ordered an extra terrestrial tuner (TV via an aerial/(virgin) cable) this second tuner is unsuitable for satellite

If both tuners have F plug connectors (screw on) they are both satellite. A terrestrial tuner has different connectors (coax and push in)

Plug one cable from your Sky dish to your LNB input. And if you have a second satellite tuner the other cable to tuner input (Sky and Freesat can use the same dish/LNB because the FTA signals are the same and come from the same cluster of satellites.

Have you configured your satellite tuner on your box?
menu ->setup-> service searching -> tuner configuration -> tuner A
Try
Configuration mode = Simple
Mode = single
satellite = 28,2E Astra2E/2F/2G
Send DisSEqc = no

Press green button on remote to save

Repeat for your second satellite tuner

then
menu ->setup-> service searching -> AutobouquetsMarker -> Providers
FreeSat UK = yes
Freesat UK area = set your region or something like England HD/london
Freesaat UK FTA only = yes
Freesat UK generate main bouquet = yes
the rest set to your own preference

Press green button on remote to save

menu ->setup-> service searching -> AutobouquetsMarker -> Start Scan and scan for channels

maybe also
Menu -> Setup -> System - EPG -> Graphical EPG settings -> Show bouquets on launch = yes

Press green button on remote to save

Once you have something working you can refine your menu settings etc.

The full Kodi is only available for the Vu+ Duo2, Vu+ Solo SE v2, Vu+ Solo2 & Vu+ Solo4K. In your case you are best getting an Amazon Fire TV Box or Stick for that.

Thanks guys, i've already got a variety of boxes but I've not been too impressed with the quality that they push out. Ideally I'd like to have my Sat Box setup with KODI, removes clutter :) so I may just treat myself to a VU+ DUO2:)
