Record 2 channels at once

Thanks to the Freesat+ Twin Tuner, you can record two channels at once, straight to the Blu-ray Recorder’s built-in Hard Disc Drive. Alternatively, you can record one channel while watching another, or even record two while watching a DVD, Blu-ray Disc or content you’ve saved to the HDD.

With so many channels to choose from and so many recording and viewing options, it’s as good as writing the TV guide yourself.
