Hi Ron, I see. So the STB only gives out a single channel (so to speak) and I'd have to have two (or a twin tuner STB) to allow me to record two channels?
Fair enough. Thanks for that. I guess I was thinking of which was easiest/cheapest, as I'm not overly familiar with digital at the moment. Am I right that all the stations are broadcasting simultaneously an analogue AND a digital signal and that some stations have a second digital only channel (eg. ABC2)?
