Before I wheel out my sat boxes to the family I am trying to get to grips with operating them (as opposed to setting them up which I have nailed with help on here :thumbsup: )
My specific query is with my ET8500s which have multiple tuners and how to record and watch other channels
Currently one of them has quad tuners set up as follows:
Tuner A - Digital terrestrial
Tuner B - single 28.2
Tuner C - single 28.2
Tuner D - DisEqC 13.0, 19.2, 28.2
I guess my real issue is in recording such as a programme on BBC1.
I have set up a Favourite Bouquet with the main terrestrial channels (tuner A) and then frequently watched 'satellite' channels. But then when I come to record, say BBC1, from the EPG (or an autotimer) I can't then watch BBC2 as the tuner is tied up.
I understand why this is this but not quite sure the best way to set my bouquets up so that I, or rather my techy-illiterate family, are not raking around trying to find a free tuner.
Potentially I should have 4 BBC1s to chose from so would an alternative be to set up a new bouquet just for recording? (although just checking in all services I can't see 4 x BBC One NE&C).
Also how do I see (and play) recordings that I have made.
