[QUOTE="Mew, post: 277241, member: 29012"] Hi dinotooth2 The HVR4000 is advertised in the UK as a Quad Mode TV Receiver. This is not the same as having 4 tuners. I think it has a DVB-S2 tuner (which also works with DVB-S) and a DVB-T/Analogue Tuner. I think the driver make these show as 3 tuners (DVB-S/S2, DVB-T and analogue). The drivers (and possibly the hardware) only allow one of these 2 physical tuners at once. I think people have tried to use the DVB-S2/S and DVB-T tuner at the same time but as far as I know this has not been successful.
