Cheapest Twin Tuner Cable box

[Toilet sniffer V]

I've been looking for days and days and I'm getting more confused. Is the Dreambox 7025 still available? Can I always change tuners in satellite boxes to get them picked up on Cable? There seems to be a much better range of satellite receivers than cable receivers.

Cheers guys, I'm going mental here.

they do not make the 7025 any more but you may find a 2nd hand one... you can swap tuners only on genuine boxes not the clones..

Cheers Caveman, so I'm looking at ?300+ just for the box then?

[caveman_nige]

dunno the going rate bud, but it will be cheaper than a dm8000

You could also look at the Itgate TGM220 has to be that model newer itgates have a fixed tuner but you should be able to pick one up for around ?100 second hand and around ?30 for the tuner

I've just found this. It reckons the DM600C has a twin tuner for ?98. Are they lying or do some of them have twin tuners?

I just know someone will tell me it will work sat and cable but not 2 channels on cable. Go on, my chips are ready, I just need them urinating on now.

[caveman_nige]

its bollox mate, i have a dm600 and its a single tuner box, no room inside for another.. you can change the tuner (if its genuine) and it will take a laptop hard disk for recording etc..

[smirnoff_rules]

u can change the tuner but they dont come with 2 m8 only the one u need

[westkill]

ive never known a dm600 to have twin tuners
there single tuners m8

[portbhoy]

Best alternative is probably the openmedia you have to turn it off to switch between tuners but it's a small price to pay for a box that costs ?100

[Toilet sniffer V]

Typical. Anyone want any chips

All I want to do is watch one channel and record another or record 2 channels at once. I'll even put up with an external hard drive. I can't believe no one makes them, surely there's not only me who wants one? They're missing a trick here.

[portbhoy]

They did it was called starpoo the box PVR and it was the most awful starpoo ever made and that takes some doing

Nah you're not the only one. Its even got me looking for something that I can't talk about here with some punishment from the higher powers. LOL

Get a dm500c and a dm600s stick a HD in the 600s and there you have it, twin tuners with seperate recording capabilities for under ?200
