How do you guys set up your tuners. Do you have multiple cable boxes?
Is there any way to use one or do I have to use 2 cable boxes.

Thanks,

At this time (we are hoping that this will change, and it probably will
.... in a year or so) both tuners must be receiving the same signals
(channels), you can't use one tuner to control a cable box and another
for either off-the-air or a different cable box, for example.

If you use a set top box, you must have 2 for dual tuners.

Do you know if a method exist to switch between cable box 1 and cable box 2?

Actually I need to put off one cable box and reboot.

No & there should be no reason to as they must both carry the same programming.

Hi!

Effectively I use two Pace DC551P HD set top box. It work fine with the
computer remote.

I want just a hotkey or a tip to swith between the two set top box.

In other way, do you know if it possible to manage this set top box by the
computer?

In particular, I need to use the set top box remote to zoom, the # button
not work on the main remote.

Thanks in advance for your responses.
