Hi guys,

Currently using an F5, and all working fine but I'm treating it as my "learner" box and will be looking to upgrade to a better quality receiver in the near future.

I'm thinking that the VU Solo or VU Solo2 seem to get great reviews, but don't know whether to choose a single or twin tuner version.

My question is (I'm still a newbie to all this so forgive me please if it seems such an obvious yes/no answer) can I run a twin tuner from a single satellite cable feed? I live in a flat with a fixed communal satellite dish, so am just limited to the Sly channels.

At the moment if I want to record anything I have to watch/record the same channel at same time.

Cheers for any info/guidance,

Dan
 
you would need 2 feeds for a twin tuner box,however take note as you only have 1 feed and on communal dish if something happens in the near future you may be left with a freesat box.we dont know what is going to happen but we have the option of other sats to get as you do not.
 
Thanks cactikid, yeah I kind of had a feeling that might be the case so single tuner box it will be then.

As for the other thing...I know what you're talking about...the end is nigh etc :( but for now fingers crossed just enjoy it while it lasts eh! I was quite happy with internet streams and may have to go back to that for the footy lol
 
i think the vu with addons might be able to stream,no idea if bobby has done this?think there is a media pluggin to do more.
 
i was not too sure if loop through would work,good it can,but in their situation ask yourself would it be worth it,it will be easily sold on if the worst happens.
