What is a dual tuner TV?

Dual tuner TVs are perfect if you use a satellite dish to pick up Freeview and want to do away with the satellite box.

They come with 2 tuners built-in, one for UHF (like other Freeview-approved TVs), and another for satellite.

Most TVs from Samsung, LG and Panasonic are dual-tuner models. Ask in store to be sure, or look for "DVB-S2" in the product specifications online.

For caravans and motorhomes, the Veon 24 inch Caravan and Home TV is a dual tuner option too.
