FBC Tuner requirements

[Huevos]

Any ideas?

In "Customize":

"Force LNB Power" = yes
"Force ToneBurst" = yes

Yeah, I already have those set.

I still get the brief tuner failed error after a reboot too. No idea why.

I'm going to wipe the box and set up from scratch I think. When is the next Vix update out?

My Solo4K is driving me potty..

Yesterday I tried to watch a channel and it kept giving a tune failed error.

Tuners A and C were in use (B is motorised) - it was as though tuner A was not being released, and for whatever reason it wouldn't use tuner D

I'm not even sure how to troubleshoot this. I have a Unicable LNB and they are are linked to each other correctly (C to A, D to C, E to D etc)

Fast forward and rewind has also gone to pot lately - dunno if that is an image issue. When fast forward or rewinding, after pressing play again, the audio will play but the picture freezes.

Any ideas?

I don't use a unicable LNB now, I switched to a unicable II switch but when I was having problems when changing some parameters I checked the settings file and found the changed setting was creating a new entry and not overwriting the old one thus causing problems conflicting with each other.

Although I prefer ViX at the currently I'm on OpenATV as they are currently are testing support for the TBS5925 USB tuner and also I have the RW/FF problem so it must be either the drivers or a OE-A problem.

Psikix, is it set to reliable or traditional?

the TBS stuff will be in next vix build.

Great news, look forward to that, thanks

All the FBC tuners are set to traditional.

[Huevos]

Works fine like that for me.

[psykix]

No idea what the issue is then. Guess I have to try a clean install. I'll do it when the next Vix is released.

Cheers :-)

Hi All I too had the tuner issue but have set them b connected to a, c connected to b etc etc all the way with different scr number to each. Also did the force lnb and power tip, and it has sorted my issue right out. no problems for 3 days now.

Also had to go back to tuner config after restart and just ok to make it work btw

Hope it helps somebody

i have a Sky MK4 Hybrid 6 Way LNB
2 feeds to a vu+ duo
2 feeds to a vu+ duo
2 feeds to a solo 4k
what are the settings for the 8 tuners on the solo 4k
please anyone

Hi,
I would say simple single 28.2e for both inputs. There is nothings special when you do not have unicable/JESS.

The special thing happens when everything is configured as you now have 8 tuner for 2 bands:-)

ciao

what lnb should I have for my 2 duo's and solo 4k that as 6 feeds
thanks alan

That LNB is also known as a smart LNB which means it's ports senses the type of tuner and can be used for Sky Q and legacy (universal) tuners.

You can try and see if it will work if it will work as FBC LNB on the 4k, failing that you should be able to use it on all 3 boxes setup to use universal LNBs.

[alan1812]

can I have 2 lnb's on one dish for sky so I could have 1 legacy lnb for vu duo's and a unicable/JESS lnb for the solo 4k
or would I need a separate dish for the solo 4k and how would I connect the 4 tuners on the solo 4k
