    For what your asking you may have to look at an enigma2 receiver with either 2 x Plug & Play Tuners or one with fixed, mainly the fixed ones only come in Single variety.

    There is the Gigablue Quad+ the Miraclebox Premium or if you can find a Cheap either new or second hand Vu Ultimo or your looking at the Duo2

          20140528_200241.jpgreceived my miraclebox on Tuesday its not a bad box, remote is cack its to flat and the control's are not very responsive compared to my Solo2's
          it has the advantage of fitting either a 2.5" or 3.5" drive, but it's a bit of a squeeze fitting a 3.5" drive, I fitted a 1TB 3.5" that I had spare yesterday
          but I might get a 2.5" later mind you it seems to run pretty cool so we will see how it runs
          it came pre-installed with Vix Helios 17 but I put Apollo 001 on it strait away as it was released on Tuesday (good timing) as it has the Cable ABM
          still not sure about the cable side but with the Tuners being interchangeable I could always fit a 2nd DVD-S2 tuner
          here are a few pics with the top removed with and without the Hard Drive

          sorry about the messed up pictures I decided to add a few more after and they did not fit side by side

                    ABM will not scan because the new Vix Apollo dose not have my reign for Teeside yet, I have given the vix team my cable aria log settings so hopefully it will be included in the next upgrade

                        Cheers mate I know that the id is 00010 but all I get is a few fta channels I would not mind so much if I got them all as I get all the sports on my solo2
                        any way I am hopping to exchange the miraclebox for a DUO 2 so I am not going to bother with cable yet
                        I suppose I was spoiled by getting a solo2 1st I need the speed

                            I was originally going to purchase a Gigablue Quad, I had paid for it but they ran out of stock and could not get any more as they had been Discontinued
                            and they had no dates for when they would get the replacement Quad plus, so I bought the Solo2 instead
                            I am running Vix Apollo with it's inbuilt ABM at the moment and it's working great on sat, but you could send me your cable and sat channels if you don't mind, Thanks mate appreciated

                              Quad plus is suppose to really good wish id held out and got that, for the slightly bigger LCD I love gimmicky things. I'm not at home till the weekend but I've got it saved to Dropbox but it's both sat and cable don with autobouquets, I don't use vix I'm not keen on their images, but u might be able to run ABM if u prefer it might just overwrite the sat channels and keep the cable, that's what autobouquets does for sat anyway. If u want just cable I'll send u them at

                              sat the top bouqets cable underneath
