I can confirm that one Satking remote will operate as many Satking boxes as are within earshot of it.
So trying to operate two Satking boxes in the same room could be a bit dodgy (unless you stick the recording one in a cardboard box )
The Satking can record one channel while you watch another IF both channels are on the same transponder e.g. watch ABC, record ABC2.
But if you want to watch and record channels that are on different transponders, you will need a twin tuner unit like the Humax.
