AIUI, unlike terrestial TV, you have to have a separate aerial lead for
each tuner. If you really only have the one single cored lead then you
won't have been able to watch one program whilst recording another.


We could definitely record two programmes at the same time . Necessary
of course due to the timetables set up by the TV companies!

Cough splutter, having delved under the assortment of cables, leads and
aerial connections i indeed have surfaced with TWO leads to the Sky box
from the wall, one lead from Sky to DVD recorder/player and one lead
from Sky to TV, one lead from roof aerial to TV (in case we lost the
satellite reception) and one lead with no end on it.
Oh, and 2 dog biscuits, three Christmas cards, a pound coin and two
wrappers from a box of quality street.

So I seem to have the requisite number of leads ...................

Have a look at the back of it. Does it have two satellite input
connections? Do they have plugs connected to both of them?

It's not what's going into the TV that's important at this stage, it's
what's going into the back of your Sky+ box.

Oh well that's okay then. Thanks a lot, I feel more confident that i
don't need to pay an engineer to bring out the special cables always
assuming that the ones that go into the Sky box will also fit the Humax?


Now all I have to do is to check whether Dave was correct in thinking
that Freesat will exclude some channels.
And I've got a lovely clean carpet under the TV now ............
