if I was to get a inverto Unicable II single feed lnb and a splitter so I can connect the 4 tuners on the solo 4k I would have 16 tuners and record 16 programs
could I use just one dish for 2 lnb's
sorry for all the dumb question but I am a bit slow on the uptake
They are not dumb questions. Dumb questions are when you ask one thing but mean another. Or don't say when you get stuck.
You cannot have two LNBS pointing at the same satellite on the same dish.
How did you get to 16 for your solo 4k?

4 tuners per input 4 inputs
at the moment I have 2 cables connected and it shows 8 tuners so if I had 4 cables connected I would have 16 or am I wrong again

Do you have extra tuner modules or just the built-in ones?
I have the extra twin tuner so I can connect 4 feeds to it
I make that 10 "SCR channels", hopefully someone can correct if wrong.
You have the 8 "SCR channels" that are available on the two FBC tuners.
Unless you have the unreleased FBC tuner modules for the new range, the twin tuner module will be a conventional one. That makes only 2.
(8+2 = 10)
It is also worth pointing out that when people say can I watch one channel and record another, the receiver will only use another tuner when the frequency of the channel is different.
Depending on bandwidth restrictions and HDD speed etc, you can comfortably record 6 channels on a single tuner receiver. I had 12 channels recording on my TM Twin a few years ago, it has two conventional tuners.
I only have 2 cables connected at the moment and I recorded 8 films at the same time
so if I connected the other 2 cables how many could I record then
as I only have 2 cables to use at the moment with a sky hybrid lnb
so if I had the inverto Unicable II single feed lnb and split that feed into 4 so i can connect all 4 inputs on box would that be better

English is not my native tongue.
I apologise for all my grammar, spelling and idiom errors.
You can never have 16 tuners, the box has only got 13 demuxes.
BTW don't kid yourself that the Solo 4K has 8 tuners. It doesn't. It has 2. Just each tuner can be used to receive multiple transponders.
thanks for the reply's I am just looking to get the best setup to optimise the most tuners with this box but still keep the 2 other's I have
thanks again for the reply's

Hi,
of course you can have 2 or more LNB on 1 dish BUT not for the same sat position.
ciao
