USB tuners?

[champs4life]

Hi

Want a second cable tuner but seems external/USB tuner is only option.

Anyone had any experience with them with this box if so how do they work with the interal cable tuner and are they expensive.

Thanks.

i think a number of supported e2 usb tuners
sundtek,
vu turbo,
dvb sky.
wos sells sundtek and the vu turbo usb stick.

.....vu turbo is for vu+ boxes only.

I used the Sundtek without any problem

Abu if you dont mind me asking is the sundtek cable USB tuner the best one and does it work well with the internal cable tuner of the TM Nano 3T?

Are these USB tuners expensive and how would I connect to the box with another coax cable?

These are good HMP-COMBO DVB C/T2 HYBRID USB TUNER

Option 1
Use the loop-out connection from the built-in tuner and use another wire to connect to USB tuner

Option 2
Use a splitter

What do you mean loop out connection? Do I need to buy separate cable?

Looked at the price and its very expensive for USB tuner, didnt think it would cost that much.

For that price you could be bit extra and get dual tuner cable box I think.

Look at back of receiver, read the text next to the connections. It will make more sense. I hope.

If you don't have a cable, cant make one, you will have to buy one.

loop out would mean rf out to input of usb tuner.
multi tuner boxes are better.

If you already have a splitter then would you still need to loop through?

Still dont understand loop through. Yes I am thick.

So in effect I would need to buy another coax cable?

Would it be best to get USB cable tuner or just get a twin cable tuner box?

[cactikid]

ok most likely the splitter you have is 2 way as in one side to router and one to box.
a three way splitter could then feed second tuner.
think of an old vcr as feed would go in the in port and the rf out went to feed tv signal55055
twin tuner cable box would be better.
