    Vu duo Tuner setup for Sky q installation

    hi,
    I have just had sky q installed there is one feed. I can currently record 3 programs and watch another. I would prefer to use my vu duo instead as my wife is used to it.
    What is the setup on the vu duo so I can take advantage of 2 tuners using the 1 feed? do I need get a splitter and then setup each tuner? If so-does anyone know the tuner setting for openvix?

    The SkyQ LNB you will have had installed won't be compatible.

    Unless you requested a hybrid LNB (sky mk4 hybrid 6 way lnb) be fitted at the time of installation you won't be able to use a standard HD receiver. These LNB's are not fitted as standard and have to be requested when the engineer rings you to arrange the instal the night before.

    Not unless requested. They want users to move away from SD and HD boxes in favour for their sky q box.
