NOt recording properly. Why?

[siena_us]

I ordered and reciebved a new Pace Sky+ box last week. I am in Italy. I finally got the tech out and he had to order a new LNB as the one supplied did not work with my dish. So now my next question. He set up everything, ran the extra cable but since I only have the single LNB right now, I cannot tape and watch two different shows. That problem should fix in a week when the new LNB arrives BUT I am wondering, I can record a program as long as I am on that channel and the SKY+ box is on BUT if I turn off the box and have planned recordings in my sky planner, it will not switch on. Is this because I opnly have one cable going to the box right now.

AS another example. If I set up two programs to record during the night and I leave the box on and set to the first channel it will be recording, I can get that recording but the other fails and says that it could not find the channel (when I click on info for the recording).

Any help would be GREAT.

TIA

You wopuld need to split the coax feed to both inputs for it to work as you wish.

But if I wait until I get the new LNB (a quad) and have the two cables hooked up to both the LNB and the box, will it work then?

Yes it should do.
