Support of single-LNB/satCR/unicable?

[Danielorum]

Hello all.

Does anyone know if my reciever: TM Twin OE, supports this unicable solution?

Thanks for your time.

Yes it does.

Are you sure? My understanding was only solo2 4k did

fbc tuners and unicable are two different things.

My technomate is running of a unicable lab.

fbc tuners and unicable are two different things.

Your both confusing me now?
SCR and unicable are the same thing. What is fbc you speak of?

From what I understand:
An FBC tuner with a unicable LNB, same as having 4 tuners on same sat
An FBC tuner with a standard LNB, same as having 1 tuner with loopouts for that quadrant (high/low/h/v)

Whaaat a new box, I've only just got my solo 4k, damn technology moves too fast.
Lol.

unicable support is done by firmware.
and vix images support unicable.
i'm using unicable on a duo2 with 4 scrs.

i'm using this one:
Inverto IDLB-QUDL42-UNI2L-1PP Unicable Quad-LNB, 40mm, 2 Legacy, 1 Splitter
it has 1 unicable feed for 4 scrs (tuners) and 2 universal feeds.

by the way... this lnb is not listed in the vix lnb setup list. but this is not a problem... i just used the inverto unicable lnb that's listed and it works as well.

Must admit this issue is confusing me too.

I have a Solo 4K with the the following LNB config which to be honest was just copied from my Mutant.
Tuners I and J is the twin cable tuner which obviously needs no explanation.
This all works fine.

Tuner A
Single universal LNB for 28.2e

Tuner B
4 port DiSEqC switch
All LNBs are quad universals as I have other setup in my office which for the sake of simplicity can be ignored to avoid more confusion.

Port A universal @ 28.2e
Port B universal @ 13e
Port C motorised dish with universal through vbox
Port D universal @ 19.2e

If you look at the screenshots you will see that tuners C to H are not configured which is I believe is correct with the current LNB setup.

Can anyone explain a better setup either with the existing LNBs or different ones ?

I am by no means certain but my understanding so far is that tuner B with the DiSEqC is probably best left as it is ?

Tuner A would be better with a FBC LNB (if there is such a an LNB) or a unicable LNB ? therefore the currently inactive tuners will become active ?

If the unicable LNB is best for tuner A then I have seen that 'GT-SAT Uni-a cable Unicable One LNB, LNC GT-S3SCR4' is available which has I unicable port which I would use for tuner A on the Solo 4K and 3 legacy(universal) ports for my other requirements.

Confused yet ?

afaik, this is the best you can do with the lnbs you got. however, you "waste" 6 internal fbc tuners.
the max you can get with a unicable lnb is 4 scrs (virtual tuners).
so a better solution would be a unicable switch for 8 scrs.
p.s. there are no "fbc lnbs".

Thanks 2stein

So will there never FBC LNBs or just not yet ? I did think that the new Sky UK Q receivers that have FBC tuners would use matching LNB although I could be wrong on this too

So are you suggesting a unicable LNB would be better on my 4K port A ? if so how does the unicable switch fit in with this ?

A question I forgot to ask is

Can a unicable LNB be configured to be used as a standard universal LNB ?

Thanks for your time.

that i don't know.

yes, with a unicable-lnb you could use 4 "internal tuners" instead of just one.
for a switch solution you would connect your quad-lnb (quattro would do as well) to a unicable-switch that would then provide the unicable feed (for 8 virtual tuners) and universal feeds.

Thanks for your time.

no... you can just use one (of the 4) scrs.. which gives you similar function as a universal lnb, but you still have to configure it as unicable-lnb.
