[QUOTE="Huevos, post: 751395, member: 301161"] For the receivers mentioned (Vu+ Duo & ET9000) twin tuner means 2 satellite tuners. If you want terrestrial too you can add a Nova T USB stick (I bought a second hand one for a fiver off eBay). That makes it 3 tuners. Each tuner means you can access 1 multiplex. Each multiplex has up to 10 channels on it. So a single tuner receiver can record and display more than one channel if both are on the same multiplex (for example BBC 1 HD and ITV 1 HD are both on 10847 V so with a single tuner receiver you could watch/record/stream both of those channels at the same time). So if you don't want to be stuck with the "[I]no free tuner[/I]" message because the missus is recording Coronation Street you need a twin tuner receiver. Oh, and don't forget, if you have 2 tuners you will need 2 aerial systems. In your case when you get the T90 set up this just means adding a few twin LNBs to your most used positions. Here I've got a motorised dish on my second tuner and it is set up so first tuner is priority (for fast zapping). [/QUOTE]
