I'm guessing Chris has me on ignore or simply doesn't want to answer my previous questions about magic ethernet ports.
Somebody point out to him that Sky+ has two tuners so requires two cable feeds from the LNB. It allows you to record two channels whilst watching a previously recorded programme, not a third channel. The playback from its hard disk does not require a tuner.
