Amiko Alien 2

    Hey guys, just wondering if anyone can offer advice on a problem I'm having with the Amiko Alien 2.

    There is a sky dish with quad lnb installed in my house and i've connected the two lnbs in the sitting room to the two satellite tuners of the alien. I have tuned in the fta channels and can receive them all no problem.

    The problem is using the pvr function. It appears that only tuner 2 will receive the channels so when I hit record I can only watch other channels from the same transponder. I have switched the leads going into the box and the problem remains so its definitely not a cable/dish/lnb problem.

    I think its in my tuner configuration settings. I've tried loads of combinations but can't get one that works. This problem is the same whether i'm using spark or enigma2.

    If I set both tuners to astra 28.8 i get no signal. I have to turn off tuner 1 or set it to another satellite for tuner 2 to work.

    Does anyone know what exactly the settings should be for a sky dish quad lnb, or any other suggestions as to what the problem might be?

    Thanks.

    Although you're not using the box for Foreign TV, The boys over there will be able to answer this question alot better.
