The only issue is you are limited on what satellite you can see. I tried that with my 6000. When you set it up, you can set it up for tuner 1&2, 1 only or 2 only. So I could set up tuner 1 as IA5-IA7 and tuner 2 from G3-Amazonas which saves wear and tear on the motor but you could only watch one show from a satellite this way (since the tuners do not overlap)
yes its two units in one but if you are watching a program (or recording it) you cant motor to another satellite (on either motor). Thats why I got rid of mine. Its two units in one but very limited on what it can do. I wanted to watch a satellite while I scanned another satellite. Only way to do it is with 2 receivers
