Hi Forum.

I have been the happy owner of a Vu+Duo for some time. I bought this model in order to be able to record one program while watching another. When shifting to the Vu+ I also fitted dual LNB on my dishes and installed an extra cable so I have a LNB available for each tuner

Till now I have been trying to record and wathc but I haven´t had much luck. I have been doing some reading and found uot that aparently one CI module is only able to provide decoding af one channel at a time.

My last go at the problem then was to purchase an extra CI module and viewing card from my provider but with two CI modules I still have the problem. The only difference is that I don´t see as many channels in my favourites list which are "greyed out"

After that defeat I did some more reading here in the forums where some members are asking similar but not totally alike problems and it seems that even if the receiver has two seperate CI modules it will only be able to decode one channel. Like other members I have tested each CI module seperately in both CI slots on the receiver and they work fine in all combinations

My questions

1. Am I correct in the above assumtion that the receiver is able to decode only one channel even though two CI modules are available - or am I doing something wrong?

2. is it a hardware or a software issue?

3. Will a newer model Vu+Duo be able to make use of both CI modules? If not - are there other brands on the market that will solve this problem?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Best regards

Carsten
