It is the non-recordable box though. There was much talk about the 2nd tuner when it launched on Digital Spy forums with a few speculating it might be for recording to USB stick feature being added in a future software update. It's months later, and none of the software updates have added this.

The box on your link is the same as the non-recordable one on the official Freesat website. Same approx price too.

The official Freesat page for their recordable box is here.

Some of DS forum posters have said it's to allow EPG updates and other background tasks that require a tuner, having two tuners allows certain processes to happen more often than they would happen with one. That's the way I understood it anyway.

The very long DS thread about the new Freesat 4K boxes that started back in February with the release of the non-recordable box is here. Read the discussion about the two tuners in the non-recordable box for yourselves.
