Freesat has a handful of channels, and freesat from sky has over 300 free channels.
Do you have a sky+ box or a normal box.
If you have a normal box, then you can't do it. If you have a sky+ box then you can.
only other way is to get 2 freesat from sky boxes (your one plus another one) and hook that up to a 2nd feed from the LNB and put it through a DVD recorder
Not necessarily Ethel, for years I had a anologue TV and VCR, and a DVD recorder and I could record one programme and watch another.
Isn't it a matter of recording one through the Sky box (digital) and watching the other through the aerial (analogue), or vice-versa? Doesn't it depend on how it is connected and tuned in?
Since you are the expert on such things, could you tell me why I could do this? Is it because I did not have freeview?
