    Has anybody been able to use Unicable II LNB with Sky+ HD box

    I have mounted a Unicable II IDLU-32UL40-UNBOO-OPP on my old Sky dish.
    Into my VU + Ultimo 4K via a Labgear 6 way splitter I have 1 connection.
    Into the 2nd tuner connection of my VU+ I have a motorised dish.

    Thanks to the posts on here after setting up all the tuners all is working perfectly on my VU + Ultimo 4K

    VIA the Labgear splitter I have 2 connections into my sky+HD box.

    I have changed from standard to SCR settings in the sky box but get no signal on either connection.

    If I only have 1 connection to the Sky box I get signal and get good locked connection.

    There seems to be a great deal of counter/conflicting views on the internet as to whether a Sky+HD box will work with Unicable when set to SCR.
    OR may be it is just this Unicable model that will not fully work.

    Any views greatly appreciated.

    AS I understand it there are 4 SCR settings.

    Channel 9 - 1280MHZ
    Channel 11 - 1382 MHZ
    Channel 14 - 1484 MHZ
    Channel 17 - 1596 MHZ

    Apparently these are the only channels that work with the sky software in the box.

    What is the point having Unicable if you are limited to 4 SCRs?

    Anyway those channel/frequency combinations don't match your device.

    Thanks Huevos.
    I was beginning to think that it was a miss match.
    The point of the Unicable LNB is that I can use it on my VU+ (happily recording 5 concurrent recordings, I haven't tried on more than that) and connect other boxes to it in the future. The down side is that I would have liked to feed the Skybox from it which is only working on 1 feed.
    All this through 1 wire which is what I have in this house.
