Can't answer all your questions mate, but i do know on my Samsung V+ if i am recording 2 HD channels and watching another, i tend to lose sound on the one i'm watching, or one of the recordings will be naffed, i think regardless of the fact you are supposed to be able to do this i think that you (we) are seriously hitting our band width at this point added to the fact that you are "sharing" your connection with your neighbour it's obvious you are going to get problems. As for dodgy installs VM are known for it, when i moved into this address, the installers came when i was at work, ripped the mini dish cables out of the wall and left them dangling in the alley way and installed the feed in there so they didn't have to drill a seperate hole. i was fuming when i got home, next door neighbours VM feed from the streets is on his flags, they told him they would be back to lay it under his flags "next week", he tells me that was 4 years ago!! I told him i really wouldn't have stood for that, he says he rang and rang when it first happened but no one ever came back.
