    Please always add the 4K to your receiver description. The ultimo is one receiver, the ultimo 4K is another receiver.
    If you have a four port diseqc switch, you would set up the tuner with the wire from the diseqc switch a follows:

    Simple
    Diseqc A/B/C/D
    Port A = Change to the satellite THE LNB is pointing to. Only you/installer know that.
    Port B= Change to the satellite THE LNB is pointing to. Only you/installer know that.
    Port C= Change to the satellite THE LNB is pointing to. Only you/installer know that.
    Port D= Change to the satellite THE LNB is pointing to. Only you/installer know that.

    With regards to how to set the tuner: You set the tuner to match the hardware connected to it.

    You have Duo 4K with an FBC tuner and a legacy twin input satellite tuner if I remember correctly. If you can draw a picture of what you have in terms of LNBs, number of ports, dish, we can advise better. A diseqc switch will allow you to select one satellite only from that cable. So more cables may be better. If a picture is too much work, record a video and upload it

    Please post a screenshot of following screen:
    Menu > Information> Devices

    Then also post a picture of the wires at the back of the receiver.

    And which satellites do you want to receive on your 4-way LNB holder.

    Then you will need a motorised dish or several dishes - that can't be done with a 4 way holder.

    You
    didn't read the specifications properly - 20 degree max spacing between the extreme ends of the bar holding the LNBs. So - 39E, 28E and 23E is possible, but not 13E. Or, - 13E, 23E and 28E, but not 39E. 1W is too far away from even 23E. As @ronand wrote in post #11 - you need a motorised dish or several dishes. Or, maybe a Wavefrontier toroidal T90 dish (if you can find one)? This can cover up to 40 degrees of separation. But, you'd want to have lots of cash and lots of experience!
