am in the process of flashing a friends box.

in the guides section I have found the flashing process guide. in the guide it says power off receiver, but theres no rocker switch.

just want to check before flashing.

also how do I setup the tuners for sat, the box has DVB-S/S2/S2X - DVB-C/T/T2 , but can only see Tuner A DVB-T2 & tuner B as the DVB-S2???

I'd power off at the mains (put into deep standby first) - the power button at the front of boxes usually puts them in and out of standby.

Looks like he has 1x C/T/T2 tuner & 1x S/S2/S2X tuner.

Tuner 1 hasn't any connections, where does the RF out on tuner 2 go to (the tv maybe?).

the issue is, as you can see in the pic. that two sat feeds are connected, but in tuner setup I am only seeing tuner A DVB-t2 and tuner B DVB -S2, when we try to record one channel and view another is doesn't let us, is flicks to the recording channel.

Its not a twin tuner dvb-s2 so only 1 sat feed... the other position is filled by the C/T tuner.... and that is it on the HD51 (unfortunately not like the SF4008)

Isn't the bottom sat connector 'loop out'?
I'm pretty sure the mutant is 2 tuners only, one in each bay.


EDIT: Just noticed @twol had already pointed out it's only single tuner.

I thought the hd51 tuners were singles, are you saying it's got a twin dvb-s2 tuner?

EDIT: Just noticed @twol had already pointed out it's only single tuner - as well.

I thought so. can the C/T tuner be taken out and a dvb-s2 installed?

Yes, either dvb-s2 or s2x (I have one of each in mine)

Either of the 2 tuner modules will work ............ (if it was me) I think I would buy the s2x (and have just noticed that is what WoS are selling)

Like @Twol says, I would pay a little more and go with the S2X version.
