    Cable Tuners

    Hi all,
    I have two Cable tuners spare and I was wondering if it would be beneficial for me to install them in my Mutant. At the moment I have two Sat tuners in my STB . I have a Tivo box and only use this for basic tv . If I fit the cable tuners will this give me more channels like all freeview . I have also noticed that the connection that goes into my Tivo is different to the connection on the cable tuners . Could someone please advise what connections I would req for it to fit the tuners.
    Mutant HD2400 , 2 x DVB-S/S2, 2x DVB-T/T2/C ,OpenVix version 5.1.0028 , Simple Ten Eighty skin , and Tosh picons , remote Harmony 650, Amazon firestick

    You can install both.

    If you dont need both, sell one of them.

    Where can I buy a cable tuner for mutant24K? The box was for someone and I'm helping him to install in his property. Currently he's got just one feed coming from disc but does have a free feed from cable. We didn't realised when ordering this as one of the feed from sat disc was taken off due to damage, so the box ordered was with dual DVB-S2 tuner. Is it possible these combinations to act same as two feeds into twin tuners for recording/streaming one ch while watching:
    Sat disc -> 1x DVB S2 tuner + VM feed -> 1x cable tuner

    Thanks.

    As the tuners are DVB-T2 i would use them for Terrestrial tv way more channels to watch in HD and SD

    All PM,s asking about c/s on cable will be ignored and reported to forum staff!
