Can the Uno record a different channel to the one you're currently watching?

Yes, that's correct. But if I'm not wrong, you can buy the Uno already without tuner so you can install the DVB-T/C tuner card.

Although it is a similar idea it's not a PC tuner card, it is a Vu+ interchangeable tuner.

Yes generally with all e2 receivers you can record simultaneous recordings of several channels once they are on the same mux. Have tested this on a duo,et9000, solo and ultimo and have successfully recorded multiple channels on dvbt here in ireland as at present all of out terrestrial channels are available on one mux

Thank you for the information! By e2, I suppose you mean Enigma 2?

as far as i am aware you cant buy the receiver without a tuner but you can stipulate which tuner you want at time of purchase etc. personally i think it's a lot of money to spend on a receiver just to use as a terrestrial receiver, unless of course you intend to use the cable side of the tuner.

It is a lot of money indeed but now I'm using sofware (Mediaportal) on Windows that can handle multiple recordings from one mux. But as it goes with software, there are a lot of bugs/problems (audio/video sometimes stutters, pc won't wake up from stand-by for scheduled recordings etc...). I'm a little tired of those problems. And there's also the higher power usage, a desktop pc is not near a tv to connect (so have to copy recordings on a usb stick/hdd and play them back on my WDTV mediaplayer attached to my tv).
Cheaper DVB-T recorders don't offer multiple channel within one mux recording...

Anyway, I'm considering satellite tv in the near future, but on my location (west-south Belgium), I can receive both public Belgium broadcasts (Dutch and French) and with my antenna right positioned to France, even all Public France broadcastings and more, even some of them in full HD.
Unfortunately, all Belgium broadcasts on terrestrial aren't available on FTA on satellite (only contained in some satellite subscriptions like "TV Vlaanderen"). Most of the French channels aren't also FTA and can only be subscribed to if you have a French satellite subscription (which does require a French postal address)...

Anyway, maybe I can consider a VU+ Ultimo, since then I can mix DVB-T and DVB-S2 thorougher in one device...

That would indeed be my suggestion, reading your story.

You can get most French channels FTA using a combination of 19E, 9E and 5W. In my French bouquet I think I have pretty much all the PSB channels except France 4.
