h2s using tuners on another box on the network for extra recording

[tombatty1235]

strange question but i saw it in a menu on my h2s the otherday that you could utilize the spare tuners of other zgemma boxes on your netwok to record on one box so in theroy i could have 4 tuners on 1 box (i have another 2 h2s boxes hardly ever record on them).
as usual i cannot find this option anywere now.
does anyone know where it is in the menus for me to try out please.
cheers

I have my second box record on the hdd of the first box over the network by setting it up as a network drive, see http://www.techkings.org/zgemma-star-h-2s/100073-sharing-hdd-between-two-zgemma-h2ss-how.html for more info

I think you're talking about the fallback option? As far as I know it's so that you can connect to the tuners on the other box over the network if yours fail or you don't have sat cables connected, I don't think it's an, 'as well as' option.
I googled it and you have to disable the tuners on the first box to enable you to connect to the tuners on the second box.
The option is in 'Menu > Setup > Usage & GUI > Customise > enable fallback remote receiver.

Have a play with it. If it works it will be another option for streaming to another room.
