Which Saorview boxes allow for record one, watch another?

    A colleague recently picked up the Alba Saorview box and found that you could only watch the same channel as you were already recording onto USB.

    Do any of the other Saorview boxes allow for watching one channel while recording another (on the same mux)?

    TIA!

    After a quick search, the Triax 112 seems to be one contender:

    The Triax TR112 is the best on the market, the recording is excellent and you can watch another programme while recording another unlike the walker! The TR112 is a bit more expensive but its far better, the walker is the same box as the Bush,Alba and so on all made in the same factory cheaply made!!

    When/if Saorview launches a second mux then a dual tuner model will be the only way to be able to be sure of being able to record while watching something else.

    I have thought of using a real cheap DTT STB which is not Saorview approved to watch while recording on the Saorview device --- for the few times I need it.

    Up to now I have used a €15 USB DTT dongle on the PC to record.
