A guide to explain possible usages of Unicable/Unicable 2 LNBs. Unicable 2 is also known as JESS
I would like to start off by stating that Unicable LNBs do not need specific tuners (i.e FBC tuners). You can use them with a "normal" receiver like: Technomate Nano SE, Vu Solo 2, Vu Duo, Xtrend 8000, Zgemma H7, Mutant HD51
Unicable is one technology, FBC tuners are another technology. They are independent and different. Understand/learn one at a time and it will be easier to grasp.
In the old days, LNBs generally came with a single port. You could only connect to one receiver. Then came Quad LNBs which had four connections, Octo LNBs with eight connections. There are also switches which required a Quattro LNB but had many more outputs. All of these have one limitation, they need a signal wire directly between the tuner/s and LNB/Multi-switch. The signal cannot be split.
A typical layout would be as pictured.
