Humax Foxsat HDR

Received one of these today. Hooked up the Dish to input LNB1 and it seemed OK. Then moved the connection to input LNB2. No Signal. Moved the cable back to LNB1 all OK again. So it appears input LNB2 is duff OR have I missed something. Any with experience of this condition ?

To use with a single cable you have to loop tuner 1 out to tuner 2 in with a short length of coax.

Re: Humax Foxsat HDR

I have a Panasonic TV with a Sat Tuner on board so with the Humax (HDMI output) I really only need 1 LNB input to the Humax. I can watch the TV and record at the same time. However I noticed the signal strength on the Humax was well down in comparison to the TV so I though I'd try the dish on LNB2 input and that was when I discovered there was no signal. I assumed there were 2 individual tuners onboard the humax. Is that not the case ?
