Dual LNB connection to Octagon SF8008

[redrobin]

My friend has just bought a OCTAGON SF8008 4K UHD Linux Enigma 2 2160p H.265 HEVC Dual Wifi Multi-Stream DVB-S2X & DVB-C/T2 Combo Receiver which only has one satellite tuner, his previous sat box had two tuners and was connected to a dual LNB with the two satellite cables (28.2). He got the DVB-C/T2 for terrestrial viewing.

Does he now need a diseqc switch to be able to connect the two satellite cables and then set up the tuner config accordingly. This is so he is able to record and watch another channel at the same time.

A diseqc switch combines two different satellites to use on one tuner. You can switch between the satellite and use one at a time.

That does not apply in your case.

I read it another way as he used to have say an old sky + hd with 2 sat feeds.
New box can only use 1 sat feed as it only has 1 sat tuner.
If he gets freeview via roof aerial the he could view on sat and record on freeview or vice versa,presume the box has swappable tuner from dvb/c to dvt.
