If following above guide for a different device, adjust the manufacturer and model names.
Ensure that no SCR channel is assigned to more than one tuner across all receivers accessing the LNB


The sponsor sells a 24 channel LNB which is more than adequate for most people.

Hello, thanks. I've got a FBC (vu duo 4k) tuner connected to a Spaun 21 F with only 2 user bands (SCRS). Does that limit me to use only tuner A and B (connected to A) and leave C-H in FBC automatic mode? In FBC automatic it seems that I am only able to record two channels and then I am restricted to a subset of channels...
Regards

[abu baniaz]

I would attach cables to both physical tuners and leave the other 6 as FBC automatic.

Best to get a switch with more SCRs

Hi,

My LNB is a different model with 4 scr (details below). I have looked for a more detailed Satellite Tuning Guide but cannot find one. I have read the guide ver. 1.1 and whilst it was very helpful in getting me started, it does not go into the settings for tuners in enough detail for my needs. Are there other guides available that will help me understand how best to set up my receiver or should I just use the forum to get assistance?

I currently have two cables connected and I am sure these are set up right but it is the leaf tuners that I am trying to get right.

I started with a single cable as I understood the leaf tuners (set to FBC Automatic) would sort themselves out but I maxed out at two recordings. I was not able to record a third channel or view a separate live programme. I applied a splitter and tested the output signal before attaching a second cable to the receiver.

However, even with the two cables connected and the leaf tuners set to FBC Automatic (as suggested by Abu in this thread) I seem to be restricted to two programmes. When I try to record a third it gives me a timer conflict(?). I can however watch a third channel live. When I press record whilst watching this third channel it starts the recording but now I cannot watch a further channel. So two cables are maxing out at 3 channels.

Early in the post it implied that each tuner needs to be set to a separate scr. Is this required or should FBC Automatic work? I only have 4 SCR available (at the moment) so even if I try this I would still need to leave four tuners on Automatic.

Can someone guide me on the best setup please?

Hi all, just changed my LNB to the same Inverto one as detailed here, and set up all 8 tuners as per above. I have a Duo 4k, with a splitter behind the tv, so two feeds to the dual tuner card.
The issue is that when I try and record more than 3 programs at once, I am getting a conflict report. What have I done wrong?

[Trial]

Hi,
which dual tuner card? With one cable from an JESS/UniCable II LNB you can use all 8 transponder and there should be no conflict. I use only 1 cable from my JESS switch and quad pip on my 4K VUs (incl. Duo4K) is working perfectly. At least my "normal" DVB-S2 FBC modul has 8 tuner on board and can receive 8 transponder with one cable. I do not know if is also the case with the DVB-S2X FBC because I always read here twin tuner.

Can you run his command in Putty/terminal and post back the file it creates in /tmp directory

cat /etc/enigma2/settings | grep config.Nims > /tmp/mytunerconfig.txt

See here if required
https://www.world-of-satellite.com/s...Linux-commands

[Tump]

Sorry if I'm being thick. I've installed putty and run the command - how do I access the tmp file? Tried windows explorer, but ialthough if finds Vuduo4k as a network element, it says it can't access it.

[abu baniaz]

Use Filezilla client (or any other FTP software) to transfer files to/from receiver.

[Huevos]

FTP, e.g. Filezilla.

[abu baniaz]

Which satellite are you configuring this for? 19.2 or 28.2?

[Tump]

Ah - well spotted! Just seen the problem.

[Tump]

it's for 28.2
