    Gigablue UE 4k - Unicable/FBC setup issues (Tune Failed)

    Hi,

    I've just upgraded my LNB from a quad to a Gigblue Ultra SCR LNB (2 x legacy + 1 x SCR). All inputs appear to work fine, with 100% signal strength.

    The receiver works fine when I only have tuner A configured, as soon as I try to configure the 7 other tuners as per the sticky thread here:
    Unicable II, Inverto IDLU-32UL40-UNB00-0PP, FBC tuners
    And then force the tuner to test (Setup->Tuners & Scanning -> Misc -> Preferrer Tuner (B-H) I get a Tune failed error.
    I have tried following the steps in this sticky thread:
    Unicable devices and tune failed messages
    Which doesn't help either.

    I was able to temporarily get all the tuners working by:
    1) Configuring just one of the tuners (Setup -> Tuners and Scannning -> Tuner Setup)
    2) Testing the tuner (Setup->Tuners & Scanning -> Misc -> Preferrer Tuner) - Although tuner indicator is blank for tuners (E-H) I assumed it switched (UI Bug?)
    3) Repeat 1 and 2 in turn for each tuner
    However this morning tuners B-H have stopped working and I get tune failed.

    I'm running ViX 5.3.039 - perhaps I'm encountering some bugs and should upgrade to 5.4?

    Thanks

    Abe

    I had the same issue until I gave each tuner a unique LNB.

    In the thread you linked, ALL tuners are connecting to LNB 1.

    Yes - followed the sticky exactly except for setting the correct (Gigablue) LNB model.

    I feel like I'm hitting a bug as it works temporarily. I will try upgrading the firmware.

    Sorry to ask a silly question, are you using the correct output on the LNB?

    Which model LNB is it?

    Gigablue ultra SCR and yes, I'm using the correct output.

    I've just upgraded to 5.4 and the problem seems to be fixed.

    Just to add to this I had the same issue with a Unicable JESS multiswitch ISKY-UST110-CUO8O.
    The main tuner would work fine but I would start getting tuner errors when adding 2 or more leaf tuners.

    Due to the above I upgraded from 5.3.039 to 5.4 and the issue has gone away.

    Now I am just waiting for that moment when I need to record 8 channels simultaneously
