    So, you have only 1 feed going to the box?
    If so, what sats does that feed have access to?

    Set tuner A to simple, single, 28.2 & tuner B to loopthrough so.
    I don't have an Ultimo to check but believe it works the same way on a Duo, while it works the opposite way on the Solo 2...

    No, loopthrough gives many more recording/viewing options if stuck with a single feed.

    just for own knowledge judge, what advantages from recording viewing do you get from a loopthrough on a single feed on single sat?
