Is that a feature, or a bug? I should imagine that outputting different programs on the two scart sockets would cause far more problems than it would solve! -- Tony

Hi,
In article , Paul wrote: Is that a feature, or a bug? Neither, it's a limitation of the hardware. There is only one decoder in the box, so it can only decode one MPEG stream at a time (the box records the 'raw' MPEG stream being sent on a channel. It is only decoded at playback time). Andy
