Twin tuner box

[inaminute23]

Hi, if i was to buy a a twin tuner box, does it only require one cable feed to be able to record 2x channels?

No you would a splitter with two cables into the box.

No you would a splitter with two cables into the box.

Split the one cable or a separate feed?

 

[jigger121]

The main cable from the wall into a splitter, with another 2 cables into the splitter and the box

 

[inaminute23]

one of these?

 

[jigger121]

Yes mate

sweet. Presume if go for a h7c, i'd buy a 3 way - splitter?

or is H7C 2x cable & 1x sat?

 

[jigger121]

You would only need a 2 way splitter as the other feed is a sat feed

 

[inaminute23]

I've got a single sat feed there too, so may make use of that

It would all depend on what box you bought m8, some need 2 cables, & some need 1 cable [ tuner is internally split ]

Sorry last one. Is that box record 2 channels and watch a 3rd (ex sat)?

don't use cheap nasty splitters like the one in the picture
Technetix, Tratec or Labgear are the only ones worth using for VM

You would need a sat sub and a cable sub, not much left on sat, probably not worth paying for,
There are enough repeats to get away with just using the cable tuners

Zgemma H5.2TC = 1 cable feed (box will split the signal internally) then you can also add sat cable.

As above, don't use that pictured splitter.
