    There is no point buying a Unicable LNB with only 4 SCRs. Get the Inverto Unicable II model with 32 SCRs.

    Solo2. Connect cable to socket B and link internally to tuner A.

    Don't think Unicable is just for Solo4K and FBC tuners. That's not true. OpenViX has Unicable support for all receivers.

    Well can you explain why you would want only 4 SCRs? That is not even enough for a Solo4K without any other boxes being attached.

    Well at the moment I only have one box, a VU+ Solo2 and I will probably buy a solo 4k and this will be my only box. surely being able to record upto 4 channels is enough for anyone?

    What he is saying is that with both connections you are only giving yourself 4 feeds for the solo4k and 1 feed for the solo2, when the lnb he mentioned with a splitter would have given you 2 feeds on the solo2 and 7 feeds per input on the solo4k.
    Ps the new Sky q can record 4 and watch a fifth at the moment, and the new TiVo will be able to record 5 and watch a 6th so VM and sly obviously don't agree with you.

    If you buy the 32 SCR LNB you will have a plenty of scope for adding other receivers for just a few €uros more. 4 SCRs is not even enough for one Solo4K. If you only want to record a maximum of 4 channels why are you thinking of buying the Solo4K?

    For me being able to add as many boxes as I like without adding extra cables to the dish is very handy.

    Hi Huevos, thanks for your input. I will only ever be using the 1 box which eventually will be a 4K, so I can watch any forthcoming UHD programs once there out.

    The solo2 or solo4K?

    If two then not much cop buying the LNB, could have gone much cheaper but if S4K, Huevos will sort you out.

    You need to hook the unicable to the S4K, with a splitter you will be able to use both inputs and quadruple the number of sudo tuners
