    Default Two Tuner Receiver

    Hello,
    Can anyone tell me if there are any two tuner receivers on the market?

    I want to be able to record a show on one channel and watch a different show on another.

    Is this possible?

    Just google twin tuner satellite receiver. Keep in mind that most will be strictly for true fta.

    After doing some searching online all the dual tuner STB seem to be for use overseas. I don't see any brands that are supported on this site. Does anyone know of a dual tuner STB that can be used for North American IKS?

    The only one I know of is a modified dual tuner Dish Network IRD using fsec. I don't know of any dual tuner FTA boxes.

    Most newer HDTV's have 2 or more HDMI inputs, if yours does then just buy a second receiver* (and IKS service for it) and use the TV's remote to switch between the two receivers.

    *You may have to modify your satellite hardware setup to handle a second receiver.

    Most shows can be downloaded from the net, maybe a hard drive and a media player would be in your best interest. Just say'in.

    I believe you can find some boxes with ATSC tuner as well as FTA tuner. Some FTA boxes marketed for South Am have double FTA tuners--typically you use one for recording while you watch something else, but you might just need multiple dishes for that and odds are two boxes would be cheaper and have more flexibility than one double tuner system.

    Jynxbox Ultra hd v2 or v3 is the best dual tuner receiver right now. Dreamlink t5 is not dual tuner, as far as I'm aware

    Not the type of dual tuner the op was wanting.

    Over here, this side of the pond, people are using different receivers with 2-3-4, and even 5 tuners (#5 is usually USB dondle). Those receivers can be successfully used for FTA and payed services. I personally have (more than 5 years) Dreambox 8000 with 3 SAT tuners and one terrestrial, GigaBlue Quad with 2 SAt tuners and one terrestrial, and my last purchase is GigaBlue Quad Plus with 3 Sat tuners and 1 terrestrial.
    I do not believe that something like this could not be shipped to USA.

    Shipping over the pond is not a problem. Tubo fec encryption is the problem for HD. Can Gigablue receive turbofec encrypted channels?

    not exactly what your looking for but with some receivers you can record a channel and watch another channel provided it is on the same tp as the channel being recorded, the jynx is able to do this and am sure some other receivers may be able to as well
