    VU Ultimoto 4 tuners help

    Hi there,

    I am looking for some help/advice about using my dual tuner that i have just purchased. I have a VU Ultimoto box and i have tuner A to 28.2, tuner B to 13, tuner c to 19 and tuner D 19. What i was hoping to do was when the box in a different room is on client mode on tuner c my tuner d is not kicking in. tuner a and b are on single tuners and tuner c and d are on a dual tuner in slot c. When i had 3 single tuners i used to have b and c on spanish and it worked okay,so it doesnt appear to be working as a dual tuner. can anyone explain why tuner d will not kick in even though it seems to be pulling a signal on the sat finder. where am i going wrong? apologies for the long post. Any help much appreciated.

    Don't forget you lose a tuner on the server box to support the C/S mode.... so maybe that's where the tuner has gone.
    When the client receiver is running (even in Standby) you should see a red recording signal on the display.

    Thanks for your reply, thats why i got a dual tuner so that when 19 degrees is on in one room there is a free tuner to watch in the other room, when i only had 3 tuners 2 were set to 19 degrees and one to 28.2 and this worked perfectly fine i bought the extra so i could have 13 degrees working alongside also. i cannot understand why with the extra tuner it makes no difference. i understand being in client mode as the other box always was when using the three tuners.

    No tuner d is not kicking in. the dual tuner seems to be working as a single and not a dual. i am stumped and thinking it may be best to return it and continue as i was before. do you think it could be a faulty tuner... it does pull a signal on the sat finder. could i configure any differently or maybe put a loop through. at the moment it is only working as a single tuner and not dual.

    Sorry, this is irrelevant at this point in time.

    There was a post saying that a twin tuner card will not work in the last tuner slot of an Ultimo if all tuner slots are in use. Please trying putting the twin "tuner card" in "tuner slot" A.

    Result will therefore be
    Tuner A , twin tuner card top hole, tuner slot A,
    Tuner B, twin tuner card, bottom hole, tuner slot A
    Tuner C, single tuner card, tuner slot B
    Tuner D, single tuner card, tuner slot C


    Your tuner configuration must match what is connected to the "tuner", not "tuner slot" or "tuner card".

    Many thanks i will give that a try now please give me 20 minutes and i will get back to you. i only put the dual tuner in slot C because the website states very clearly and specifically must be installed in slot 3, slots 1 and 2 must be filled with single tuner modules. anyhow i will follow your advice now and get back to you in about 20 minutes.

    Not worked, it comes up straight away with tuner failed. Vix image flashing and unable to get onto menu to change config. i rebooted twice and one time it went to menu but only showed 2 tuners.
