This product is for Europe and Asia so it really doesn't mean anything to us here in the U.S.

My first thought was why two aerial sockets for the dual tuner ?

Every other dual tuner system that I know of uses one socket and splits the feed to both tuners.

Then I looked at their web site and saw that it also allows diversity reception, where both tuners are tuned to the same frequency. If this works as well as similar systems used in professional equipment, it could make the system considerably better when reception is marginal.

As one of the many who visit this site from outside of the US, I'm pleased that the site has the maturity to cater for a global audience and isn't too inward-looking in it's coverage.

Hmmm... I wonder what they mean when other countries call us "self-centered"...
