[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1050512, member: 82144"] Ahhhh, yes - that makes a big difference. :) What it means is that if you haven't used tuner A then none of the other tuners will work. It also means that if tuner A is/was tuned to a vertically polarised transponder (Sky and Freeview are horizontal - feeds and Aussie channels tend to be vertical) then you won't get Sky or Freeview channels from tuners B, C and D until tuner A is tuned back to a horizontal transponder.

If somebody happened to be watching Channel 9 at that time they would lose signal. Otherwise if you stick with your current setup you have to remember that all Sky/Freeview recordings will fail while you're watching Channel 9, and you [B]must[/B] tune a Sky/Freeview channel after you're done in order to allow the other 3 tuners to work.
