Triax 4 way lnb holder

[deltec]

I have a vu ultimo and was wandering if any boday was using a 4 way lnb holder how do I set these up any advice

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.

So I just need one wire from the dish is that right
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

So all I need 4 lambs then just wire them to my vu ultimo then I’m away is that right

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.

[deltec]

Do u mean menu information tuners. Is that right

[deltec]

I have 28 east I want to get 39 east 23 east 13 east and 1west

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

[deltec]

No. I don’t if u read it

No. I don’t if u read it

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!

I’ll see if the dish wants tweaking I can’t get every thing I used to get strange one
