    Default Austar Dual Tuner Solution

    I've been playing with Dreambox for quite a while, but I haven't been able to get two clients to work with my ACS V5.4 card.

    So I thought of this. Would one of those dual tuner receivers, similar to LeroyPatrol's work with my card, with both tuners on different channels using my card? Has anyone tried this? I get a surf lock if I use my Dreamboxes.

    If this works, can I watch one tuner on one TV, and stream the other tuner, perhaps by Air Video or Dreambox Live (if it supports other boxes running Engima 1 or 2) to my iPad?

    Thanks

    No those 5.4's wont work with twin tuners due to the surf lock. Well in saying that you can use one tuner. If you had a 4.1 Austar card or a 'Red Dragon' card I would then say no problem at all!

    Cheers,

    If you're after a twin tuner sat receiver, check out there HOT prices!!



    You could use a dragon for twin tuner use or your Austar card for one tuner and for another option you could connect the second tuner to a C Band dish!
