    In the tuner configuration, interpret "Connected as "Shared"


    Set C, D & E as connected to A.
    A, C, D & E must have unique SCR/channels for that LNB

    Set F, G & H as connected to B.
    B, F, G & H must have unique SCR/channels for that LNB

    It is a translation error started by some Dutch guys. It means an FBC tuner which is not the root tuner.

The satellite physical Tuner A on the back of the receiver has two inputs - top for Astra, bottom for Hotbird.

    Cool, did you get it sorted ?

    EDIT TO ADD:...This is my setup, I have two tuners, I re-read and see you have 1, but ya the concept is the same !!


    As mentioned both LNB's will be LNB1 and in the advanced settings, you will increment the userband value

    Physical Tuners
    Tuner A Astra 28 - LNB 1 - Unicable Jess - GSAT - model number - User band 1
    Tuner B Hotbird-13 - LNB 1 - Unicable Jess - GSAT - model number - User band 1

    Virtual Tuners
    Tuner C Astra 28 - LNB 1 - Unicable Jess - GSAT - model number - User band 2
    Tuner D Astra 28 - LNB 1 - Unicable Jess - GSAT - model number - User band 3
    Tuner E Astra 28 - LNB 1 - Unicable Jess - GSAT - model number - User band 4
    Tuner F Astra 28 - LNB 1 - Unicable Jess - GSAT - model number - User band 5
    Tuner G Astra 28 - LNB 1 - Unicable Jess - GSAT - model number - User band 6

    Tuner H Hotbird-13 - LNB 1 - Unicable Jess - GSAT - model number - User band 2

    "Saorview terrestrial aerial"
    Tuner I DVT-B
    Tuner J DVT-B

    Btw, the physical LNB type does not exactly match what's available in the menu - IDLU-QUDL42-UNR2L-1PP the former, and IDLU-QUDL42-UNI2L-1PP the latter; that is a difference of one letter 'I' in the third section. Will that make any difference? I went thru all the options in that section and there was no exact match.

    Thanks folks. I somehow missed page 2 of your replies until now. I will apply those settings and report back. Much appreciate the help.

    Hi BobbyC. And with this config can you record one Hotbird channel and watch another? This is all I really need for Hotbird.

    The settingd I gave you will give you 4 tuners for 28.2e and also 4 tuners for 13e. Bobby's one gives you 6 for 28.2e and 2 for 13e

    Yes abu, thanks. I spotted that. The 'structure' of how it all works is much clearer now. I'm grateful for all the input. Ok, to report back:
    I followed your instructions abu (18-09-20, 00:00). My LNBs are Inverto Unicable both, IDLU-QUDL42-UNR2L-1PP with four user bands - 1210, 1420, 1680, 2040. NOTE: these are listed on the box as 0, 1, 2, 3 before each of those MHz bands whereas the configuration settings only offer SCR 1 - 4. Don't know if this makes any difference but thought I'd mention it in case it's important. Also, as mentioned earlier, the LNB type setting available in configuration is IDLU-QUDL42-UNI2L-1PP instead of mine above - a difference of only one letter('I' v 'R'), but thought I should point it out.

    A & B tuners set to Astra 28.8 and Hotbird, LNB1 and SCR1 1210MHz each.
    C set to Astra, SCR2 (1410), connected to Tuner A.
    D set to Astra, SCR3 (1680), but settings wouldn't let me choose Tuner A - only B, G, and H available. I rebooted the device to see if previous settings had somehow messed this up, but no joy.

    For example, previously I had tried this:
    A to Astra, LNB1, SCR1
    B to Hotbird, LNB1, SCR1
    C to Astra LNB1, SCR2, connected to Tuner A
    D to Hotbird, LNB1, SCR2, connected to Tuner B
    E to Astra, LNB1, SCR3, connected to Tuner C (A not available)
    F to Hotbird LNB1, SCR3, connected to Tuner D (B not available)
    G to Astra, LNB1, SCR4, connected to Tuner E (A not available)
    H to Hotbird, LNB1, SCR4, connected to Tuner F (A not available).

    With these settings, as explained before but just to be clear about the issue I'm now having, I can record one channel on Astra and watch any other, but this does not work with Hotbird. Recording any channel makes all the others (well, those in my favourites list anyway) unavailable. It's strange how that functions for one satellite and not the other.

    I'm loath to reset the box to factory settings and start again but perhaps that's what I'll have to do if you guys feel that's my only option at this stage? Or do you think that the last configuration there in my 3rd paragraph should give me the result I need and that there's something else wrong?

    You have probably messed something up on the LNB numbers you previously selected. It is set, but because you are not seeing it, you think it isn't there.

    To delet the tuner settings, issue the following command using Putty or similar (link to guide in my signature if you need it):

    Code:
    init 4
    This will stop enigma2.

    Navigate to /etc/enigma2 and edit teh fiel called "settings"
    Uiusng linux compatible editor such as Notepad++, delete all the lines that start with
    Code:
    config.Nims.
    Save, transfer back then issue following command to restart
    Code:
    init 3
    Then set your tuners how you want

    It does not matter about the difference in model number for LNB, the SCR/channels/frequnecies are the same
    Code:
                <product name="IDLP-40UNIQD+S" scrs="1680,1420,2040,1210"/>
                <product name="IDLB-QUDL43-UNE1L-OPP" scrs="1210,1420,1680,2040"/>
                <product name="IDLB-QUDL-UNI2L-OPP" scrs="1210,1420,1680,2040"/>
                <product name="IDLB-QUDL42-UNI2L-1PP" scrs="1210,1420,1680,2040"/>

    Hi. No joy I'm afraid. There's a peculiar anomaly. Whereas for Astra, tuner C can be connected to A, but D & E can only be connected to C & D respectively (i.e. tuner A is not available) - and the record and watch functions. Whereas for Hotbird F is set to B and G & H can only be set to F & G respectively but the record and watch function won't work.

    My posts earlier were based on openvix (we use same code as openpli). This is the openvix forum, you should have said you are using a different image. Other mages use the daisy chaining code, were you have to share/connect to previous tuner. They wont allow you to share/connect to the tuner that actually has the signal wire. You have to do the following:

    28.2
    A < C < D < E


    13E
    B < F < G < H

    Please try and set tuner configuration and report back.

    My apologies. I did wonder about that. I use to have openvix, but had to change as a legal card I have will only work on Black Hole with the 4K.

    Configured Astra as you outlined: A < C < D < E, and record and watch working as expected.

    Hotbird configuration could not be done as suggested:
    B set as required, but then for F only E & H were available. Given that E is Astra, I chose H (SCR2)
    For G, B was available and I connected to this (SCR3)
    For H, F,G, & E available and again as E is Astra I chose G.

    This config for Hotbird did not allow any of my HD channels to be watched once one channel was recording.These are the Italian channels - the reason we have Hotbird. Some, tho not quite all, of the SD channels were available and could also be recorded while the first HD channel was recording.

    I rechecked the configuration and attempted to change tuner H to being connected to F instead of G to see if this would make any difference, but the box went into a waiting / saving loop which only a forced reboot fixed. On reboot tuner H was still connected to G so the attempt to change it to F wasn't performed.
