    Twin tuner setup satellite

    How do I configure the 2 tuners? The manual mentions "simple", "equal to" and "loop-through" but i'm not sure which is the best setting.
    I have twin satellite tuners and an internal HDD.
    Please help

    I would setup both tuners as; Advanced, 28.2 & LNB1.

    That will depend on the LNB's you have and what satellite they are pointing to.
    Normally one should make a setup so each tuner gets it's own feed; a loopthrough is also possible but gives serious limitations to the looped-through tuner.

    My original post is what I would config your tuners to. So Advanced, 28.2 & LNB1 on both Tuner A & Tuner B.

    Is that a twin-LNB (so two coax cables coming from it)?
