usb tuner

[sharp blade]

hi

im running a lx2 xpeed.

im thinking about pluging a usb tuner in.

will this allow me to record two channels and watch another. And would i have to use a third cable running from my dish to the usb tuner.

cheers

What kind of tuner is it? Satellite or Cable/Terrestrial
What are you existing tuners?

looking at getting a satellite usb tuner

 

[abu baniaz]

For you to get full usage of your tuner, it should have an independent feed from satellite.

well theres the normal two that come off my dish into the box. would i have to bring a third in that connects to the tuner from my dish

cheers

If the other two are already connected to something, they are not independent. You will have to run another cable from the LNB to your receiver.

I will move your post to the image support section, it is not an ABM issue.

third cable. do i connect it to the usb tuner and leave the two that are in the back of my box were they are

If you want full use of the third tuner, you must provide it with a separate/different/independent/it's own cable from the dish. No need to touch the two tuners or their cables. If you tiuch them, they won't work fully/properly/independently.

Thank for your help

I guess you might need a spare lnb output for the dish end of this new cable ....

I think so too. We would not want a cable disconnected at the LNB.
