Tuner setup: Unicable II LNB SCR24

[gravedigger59]

Hi Everybody.
Can anybody give advice on the setup of the VU+ Uno 4K SE system.
I cannot record 1 channel without losing some other channels. It only records one channel at a time. It must be in the way i have setup the tuners.
Setup is:
VU+ Uno 4K SE, FBC Twin Tuner Linux Enigma 2,with Openvix latest 5.2.019 image installed.
Tuner A single, 28.2 sat.
Tuner B Equal A.
Tuner C Advanced. 28.2E
Tuner D same as C.
This is setup with one Unicable II LNB SCR24, going into Tuner A.

Sorry but i have searched the forums for a few weeks now, and its getting me stressed out a bit, so thought i would ask on here.
This is all new to me at the moment.

Thanks.

Thats all wrong. Tuner A you need it to be Advanced, 28.2, select your LNB make & model then specify that to SCR 1 for instance.
Tuner B set as “not configured”
Tuner C > Advanced > 28.2 > LNB make & model > SCR 2
Tuner D > Advanced > 28.2 > LNB make & model > SCR 3
etc etc

This is how the FBC tuner is set up on my Vu+ Ultimo.
Each tuner must have a different SCR or User Band number

Thanks.
I take it you mean. Channel = user band 1. etc etc. Then below on tuner C & D it says its connected to Tuner A, is that correct?
Just wondered why is there no connection on tuner B.

[gravedigger59]

Thanks. will try that in a mo.

Hi, why do you have user band on 17?

[Andy_Hazza]

Tuner B is ideal for a motorised setup or another cable from a fixed dish.

Thanks but, its not working, i have to go to single mode on the tuner A to get any channels. any ideas?

You should configure tuner B as well even if you have not got a signal wire attached to it.

There is a sticky thread in this section detailing how to configure the tuners. Refer to it.

If that still does not work, post screenshots of every tuner setting you have set.

Hi, why do you have user band on 17?

Because I'm using 1 -8 on my GigaBlue UHD Quad 4K and 9 - 16 on my Vu+ Uno 4K ☺

All the tuners (on the setup you described) must have connected set to Yes, select tuner A as the one they are connected to.

Every tuner must have an individual (separate) SCR/User band/channel

Sorry Sir, but I am new to this, What is a sticky thread and where can i find it.

have a look at that link. ensure brand and model matches your LNB. I'll make an updated guide for the GT-Sat later.

Hi. I have set Tuner A to single, B to advanced with channel 2, C to channel 3, D to channel 4.

This has given me the same issue as before, when i record one channel it knocks off some of the others.

Do I need to rescan after changing the settings?

[gravedigger59]

sorry just seen your last thread, will check it out.

[abu baniaz]

you do not have to rescan.

Tuner A is set wrong. It must not be single, 28.2. It has to be advanced. Same as what you have used for the others. only difference is connected must be No.

[gravedigger59]

Just tried and no luck, no signal on the signal finder page and no channels.
see my setup now. attached.

Please provide screenshots of the other tuners.

There is a guide to screenshots in my signature to save you messing around with your camera/PC

If you have lost your channels/services, you could have selected remove services when you changed the tuner config. Lets get your tuner config correct first. Do not mention anything at all about signal finder or services/chanenls until all 8 tuners are set correctly please.

[gravedigger59]

Oh My god, we are up and running. That is fabulous. recording 5 channels with no problems now. may have had the cable in the wrong tuner, so A & B were wrong way round, But after your screenshot overview its working now. First time its worked correct since i had it 6 weeks ago.
Thanks very much. Now to get the recordings saving into folders. :thumbsup:

Maybe I should contradict myself.

I have one of these tuners in an Ultimo4K, purchased from WoS as a dual T2 tuner and this post suggests the same.....

WoS link..... https://www.world-of-satellite.co.uk/VU/vu-plus-twin-t2-tuner-module-uno-4k-duo-4k-ultimo-4k

However my setup suggests that it is a dual DVB-C/T2 tuner.
