Yes but if you are watching and recording premium channels at the same time you will be using twice the ecms, unless your caching them, and a lot of suppliers don't allow this,

So I certainly wouldn't consider it a load of crap

Have a look here at lee's program has everything built in for you with a nice frontend display

Code:

Only registered members can view code.

Scroll to near the bottom and download VU control centre V0.5

try filezilla or fireftp (Firefox addon)

So what the 2nd tuner works by magic and doesn't put any load on the backend server?

I'm only quoting what I've read and again some providers allow a dual tuner box provided you inform them, others will cut you off if you don't and others will charge an additional premium etc... Just cause yours doesn't doesn't make all other info crap.

well i've tried many servers and i've always told them what kind of box i have and there was never a mention off having to have a second line
but just out educational purpose how would you set up your twin Vu+ or Ultimo that it would actually read the second line for the second tuner
because i found even if i had two lines the box would still read the same line when i would be recording and watch a different premium channel
and with some not so good providers there could be a bit more glitching or freezes when doing so
but with a good provider it works perfect

And the fact you told them to start with probably showed good faith on your behalf hence why you have been lucky not to be charged for two lines

That bit you could not practically do but it keeps the supplier happy knowing you are paying for two

All your points are quite valid m8 but that doesnt mean somebodys else are crap

this all depends on what you want to do with your box
but if you just want to connect to a payserver nearly any cccam would do
if you want to share you might have to go for a different cam

its just on a fixed dish on 28.2e and im going to use a pay cardshare service.. maybe later in the year i will upgrade to a motorised dish
