Recording 8 Channels at the same time!!!

[Kerrmuir]

I noticed in this manual:
http://www.techno-com.de/shopjtl/mediafiles//Anleitungen/VU-Plus_Solo2_Bedienungsanleitung_englisch.pdf
(section 10, recording) that you can record up to 8 channels at the same time!!

Is this true? and if so how do you do it??

Seeing as the Solo2 has 2 tuners its possible with a Twin LNB although you could only record 4 Vertical Transponder Channels on 1 tuner and 4 Horizontal Transponder Channels on the 2nd tuner.

Infact any single tuner E1/E2 with recording capability can record 4 channels from either a Vertical only or Horizontal only transponder.

Technomate made a big song and dance about this as marketing promotion on their 5402HD receiver which said on the box Record 3 channels whilst watching a 4th.

The same rules apply though to any receiver the channels have to be on the same transponder
