Bt pro box

Recently installed new bt pro box I thought I could record 4 shows simultaneously but throws a warning saying 2 only 

any ideas why this is

Are you getting your channels through an aerial or through the internet?

[Cocoacola2022]

Thanks David Through internet
Does that make a difference then
bt never mentioned this when I upgraded!!

Through internet

[davidwindle9]

Yeah through the internet it's only 2 channels. 

It's all down to bandwidth etc. There's a post about it somewhere.

Ok didn’t tell me that
Having fibre installed will this increase the recordings

[davidwindle9]

Negative.

Ok but I can plug aerial in and then will it allow 4 recordings
Can I use both internet and aerial 🤨
It’s funny nowhere does it say only 2 recordings if via internet!!

in the link I posted it shows

How many channels can I record if I go aerial free?

Using aerial mode you will be able to record 4 channels at once.  If you use internet mode then you will be able to record 2 channels at once.
