    I'm thinking of upgrading my Free to Air Sat Receiver to one which has the capacity to record 1 satelitte programme while I watch another. (Twin Tuner with hard disk). Do I need a 2nd cable coming form the LNB or is it OK to loop through from the LNB OUT connection to the 2nd LNB IN?

    you need two cables. Because the front part of tuner is really in the LNBF at the dish. There are four sets of possible channels on the coax.
