    The box must have two LNB inputs and the inbuilt ability to record internally to hard drive to a external hardrive.

    Two LNB cables inputs are required to watch one channel and record another.

    Google your Humax box model and it will tell it's specs.

    Hope this helps

    With a Humax HDR, you can watch 1, record another with only 1 feed, but you'll only get full flexibility with 2, so the other channel you want to watch mightn't always be available. Seems the OP only has a HD. (No Recording.)

    Also OP, post the make & model of your TV.
