    The cable from motor to LNB must not be taken off. If you do, when the motor is driven, there will be no connected LNB on that cable.

    Which satellite do you record/watch most?

    Unicable is one technology.
    FBC tuners are a different technology.

    They both can work hand in hand, but do not depend on each other. Do not think of the two as one and the same. I occasionally use a Unicable 2 LNB on a DM500

    Unicable LNBs are designed for static dishes. They are not designed for motors. You can do it, but there is likelihood of failure. There is a guide on youtube.

    IMO, use the FBC tuners only. No need for the unicable LNB.

    I have taken the single tuner out of the box and use the motorised for 28.2 as well.

    If you have at least three wires from your all your dish equipment, reconnect the tuner. You can only use one wire to it though. The other two should go to the FBC tuner.

    So to repeat HARDWARE setup:
    Wire from Motorised dish to FBC tuner. (A or B does not matter).

    Wire from 28.2 dish to FBC tuner. (B or A does not matter).

    Wire from 28.2 dish to Conventional tuner. It must be connected to the input port.

    Once you have set hardware, post back exactly what you have done. The SOFTWARE side can be explained better. But gist of it is that it must match the hatdware.
