recording sat tv

[droberts]

hi we have english sat tv with a humax sat box (with no hard drive) and a panasonic dvd player and hard drive recorder ? how can i set it up to record one program while i watch anouther thanks derek

Short answer is you can't as you only have one satellite decoder. FreeSat PVRs and Sky+ have 2 built in decoders

thanks barty b so if i buy anouther freesat box can i take a t of the cable from my dish or do i have to run a new cable and get a new unit on the dish thanks derek

[BartyB]

needs to be another cable and a multioutput (normally quad) LNB.
You'd probably make life easier for yourself by getting a S/H Sky box to go with your freesat box, then you'll know which remote works which box.
