if you get the 800se, you will only be able to record the channel you are viewing (tho sometimes you can watch a different channel if the other channel is on the same transponder - very rarely happens)

if you want to watch 1 channel and record another - you will need a twin tuner receiver....there is now a vu + duo clone out which will allow you to do so.

the size of the drive is upto you, if you intend on doing a lot of recording...in HD as well something over 250gb will suffice.

thanks for the reply, is there any other boxes that you can record and watch different channels.
cheers

you'll need twin tuner..
starting at around 180 for the qbox mini, 200ish for vu duo clone.. up to 300 odd for original vu duo or clarke tech
