Well, it's true in a way. If you plug an aerial into the Sky box, the box will mix the channels received by the aerial with the Sky box's output. So, you could watch Sky One via scart and BBC1 via RF terrestrial.

Not with a Sky digibox which is what the OP was referring to I think.

I wondered if Sky+ worked with dual tuners so you could watch one channel and record another? It can't be used to send output to scart and RF separately?

apologies for the poor english! must be late...

Yep with two tuners SKY+ does allow you to watch one satellite channel and record another or record two and watch a previous recording.
Alas the SKY+ only has one decoder/output stage so can only process one tuners feed at a time which is why the video/audio is the same for all outputs.
