This doesn't seem to be the case however, the other tuners just seem to assign themselves to a random channel and stay there.
As an example, last Saturday (in the old days when we only had two tuners!) I wanted to watch the Rugby but have the other tuner buffering the football, so if I flicked over and had missed a goal I could rewind it. But despite constantly flicking between those two channels the other tuner obstinately stuck on E4 or some other rubbish. The only way I could get it to do what I wanted was to record both programmes to "force" the tuners to be where I wanted them.
This still seems to be the case with three tuners instead of two.
Is there a way of assigning another tuner to be on a particular channel without actually recording that channel?
Sorry if that's a bit long winded, but hope it makes sense!

That makes perfect sense to me! And I actually have experienced the same thing. I was testing that last night. I THINK it stays on the last channel that was recorded but I am not sure of that.
It would be better if it behaved in the way you have described though.

Press Info and select the bottom image of the 3 record icons, from there select one of the tuners then change the channel.
Then repeat for the other tuners, then its a case of changing the channel either directly inputting the number or using that same method and it should still keep the buffer for the channel so you can rewind it  |
And there we have our answer - cheers Stephen!
