What is meant by 'dual tuners' or 'twin tuners' in a Samsung TV?

Last updated: 20 March, 2014

A Samsung Smart TV that contains 'dual' or 'twin' tuners allows you to watch either two Freeview or two Freesat channels at the same time.

You can watch two different channels using the PIP (picture in picture) feature (which divides up your TV screen between the two channels) or you can watch one channel on the TV and another on a tablet.

You could also record the second channel's programme on a USB stick or other hard drive using the second tuner.
