How come when I record on Starview PVR some channels close by to one I'm recording lose their signal and only come back when recording is finished?
To start with you need the loop cable in between the two tuners. First make sure you put the main cable supply input into the correct socket at the back ( there are 6 in all, so easy to get wrong ) the 4 together are the important ones. You need a short loop cable maybe supplied with your box. Top right = Main cable in, top left = Tuner 1 loop cable out, Bottom right = Tuner 2 loop cable input. Bottom left = empty. Then set one channel recording by pressing the red record button on your remote(3rd up from bottom on right) then change channel and watch or press record the other. Press the i (info) button on remote and this will show you on screen top to what is being recorded. Top right = tuner 1 top left = tuner 2. You can also set the timer recording via EPG on two channels at the same time.
I have the loop cable connected properly. As I said the PVR seems to record fine but only some channels close to the one I'm recording seem to disappear the rest are fine and I can watch any of those while I'm recording either manually from the remote or using the EPG. Tis strange!
