I have an et 8000 in my daughters room and a great box,Love my et 8500 to
Et8000 can have up to 3 original tuners but I have modified 3 boxes to take 4 tuners, 2 original dvb-s2's and 2 usb dvb-t2's.
I took out the front usb port, plugged in a 4 port usb hub and plugged in 2 usb dvb-t2 tuners into it.
I got 2 extension fly leads from the 2 tuners and put them on the blank cover that was in the 3rd tuner slot.
I can now record and watch programs at the same time on both satellite and terrestrial channels and it has worked perfectly.
Its a pity it doesn't do transcoding but it and the et10000 are my favourite boxes.
I would think that you could do the same on the et10000.
All the bits to do this cost around €45 and it took about an hour to do. One original dvb-t2 costs more than that.
The dvb-t2 tuner inputs are in the 3rd tuner position on the right in the picture.

Sorry for the late reply.
I got cheap ones from ebay. They have a mini coax port on them for the aerial so I got a f-connector to mcx lead and drilled 2 holes in the blank cover that was in the 3rd tuner slot.
Ebay search;
"F female to mcx male" for the lead, around £1.50
"fc0012b" for the tuner, around £5.50
"usb splitter cable" for the usb hub, around £1.25
All delivered from China but you can pay more and get them way quicker from local sellers on eBay which is what I did.
I tried 4 tuners together but it didn't work, 3 worked but not great but 2 tuners works perfectly. I have one box with 3 x satellite tuners and 2 x USB dvb-t tuners and I can record on 4 and watch something on the 5th with no problem.
I have been using one converted box daily as the main viewing box for the last year and I haven't had any problems. It's worked way better than I expected.
