Only later did it become apparent you actually only had a single feed initially!Disregarding the Sky Box, you will only ever have limited functionality on the Humax using one feed and the loop-through. Full functionality always requires one feed per tuner, so your Humax will only work in the limited fashion you've discovered.rolf suggested instead that you upgrade to a Quad LNB. This would enable you to use two feeds for the Humax and another for the Sky Box. Then, there would be no need for an A/B switch and you simply switch between boxes using the TV Source feature.What you appear to have actually done is neither of those things! Not much has been gained and some confusion has occurred.Anyway - onwards!As you now have two feeds, you can either put up with the limited PVR functionality, or you can now get an A/B switch and do as I suggested earlier on (ie one feed permanently to the Humax and the second feed switched between the Humax and the Sky Box, meaning full PVR function when the A/B switch connects the second feed to the Humax or giving you limited Humax functionality but with the extra Channels you want available via your Sky Box ), or you can get a Quad LNB and permanently feed all three tuners.</blockquote>
