HUMAX HDR is a luverly piece of kit .. but does need 2 satellite feeds.

Once you have that you can watch one channel and record another simultaneously. There are some restrictions but depending on which channels are involved it is actually possible to watch 1 and record 2 others !!

It is so easy to use even SWTSMBO has now got the hang of pausing the current programme if the phone rings (time slip recording) and the simple one-touch selection of what you want to record.

I have a quad LNB with the 3rd one going to cheapy freesat decoder in the kitchen.

I assume they're cheap enough & universal enough to add to A N Other satalite dish?

AFAIK they are pretty universal ... but a google has found some that appear to be for certain dishes ... ie

http://www.microdirect.co.uk/home/product/39641/Quad-LNB-Freesat-for-SKY-Minidis...

but others are listed as universal ie

http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=47174

I guess you'll have to search using the characteristics of your dish.. ...

Sad

or you could head of in this direction ..
