hi

I have skybox f5 anyone know if you can record while watching a different channel, if you can how do you do it.

I think the answer is no I cant, if that is the case why have I 2 lnb inputs, 1 I think says loop.

regards

as stated , loop out is for running another box ....but not recommended for many reasons....

Best bet would be to add another stb , and use one for watching and the other for recording....Many ppl have/use more than one box ....

The signal from the Loop out is cut when the Openbox/Skybox is powered on, any box connected via the Loop out will lose its signal until the Skybox/Openbox is powered down again...
