so ,the dual tuner DVRs' have TWO tuners in ONE box, not two seperate tuners. One can of course, buy two separate tivos, or DSS receivers and thus have TWO tuners as well, but not in ONE DVR.
The dual tuners, require TWO satellite inputs at ONE location, to plug into the TWO satellite ins for the ONE DVR. These are easily switched between with the tivo or tivo remote. But,
There is only ONE output at at time, not TWO outputs. So, regardless of which tuner is tuning, recording or just sitting there is only ONE output that would go to the SLINGMEDIA box.
