    DUO2 Help with Cable Tuner

    Hi I have just purchased a new duo 2 with sat and cable tuners from WOS. The sat tuner works fine however the cable tuner the picture is all pixelated. I have been using a xtrend 9500 with a HMP Combo hybrid usb tuner which worked fine and now using the same coax cable in the duo2 its all pixelated. I have also tried the HMP Combo hybrid usb tuner on the VU DUO 2 with the same coax cable and that works perfectly does that mean the built in cable tuner is the issue or is there something I need to do to fix this?

    The tuner is more sensitive. Use an attenuator.

    Thanks will the Cable F-Type TV Attenuator Variable 0-20dB Reduce Signal Level product work?

    Also noticed that when I do plug the coax cable into the VU Duo 2 cable tuner the internet also seems to slow down around the house along with the picture on the duo2 getting all pixelated

    Sounds like you have an incorrectly configured MGcamd config that we will not discuss here.

    Hi it’s not that as I don’t use Mgcamd. I have a splitter that puts one coax cable into the router and one into the duo 2 box. I noticed that if I take the coax cable that goes into the duo2 box completely and leave the one going to the router and do a speed test I get around 90Mbps as Soon as I connect the second coax cable to the splitter and attach (to any device it seems) then I see a massive drop to around 6 Mbps so seems I have some kind of connection issue here

    Only have an issue when uploading (e.g. to Google Drive)
    VU+ USB Tuner is perfect, internal is not
