    Gigablue Unicable problem. 12 March 2020 drivers

    I am also getting this problem on my gigablue 4k quad, using unicable gigablue ultra lnb, i have the tuners setup correctly as i was told in a previous post, i am using the latest image 5.3.034, some recordings go to the end and some don't, was there an answer to this problem? i also get tune failed sometimes. just to add though, i don't think my recordings just end early, i think mine loses the signal before the end of the recording, i have checked all connections, all fine.

    Which tuner is being used for the recording when the issue occurs?

    thanks, not sure about that, as i have been recording a few channels at the same time to test it out, seems to happen more on sd channels, pbs america for instance. the tune failed is not much of a problem, but the recording ending too soon is.

    There is a bug with the Gigablue drivers for the UE 4K. I think the Quad 4K uses the same drivers. If the main tuner is not in use, power to the LNB is switched off.

    Does tuner B have a signal wire?

    No, just 1 cable to tuner A.

    @scouse645, the workaround for this problem (which is caused by drivers)...

    1) When you are not using the box do not put it in standby. Leave it with tuner A as the currently playing service (if tuner A is doing a recording and you were viewing on different channel zap to a channel on the same transponder being received by tuner A).
    2) Make sure tuner A is always active.
    3) Disable HDMI-CEC if it was enabled.

    Ask the manufacturer. As it is a driver issue it affects all images. No point image hopping in the hope of finding it working correctly in a different image.

    The Gigablue driver posts should be moved to their own thread IMO. Any objection?

    I had an email from the support team at Gigablue, they suggested trying the Teamblue image, i have informed them that i tried it but it was exactly the same, after the information on here i wasn't hopeful, am i right in thinking that there's no point buying another receiver with FBC tuners?
