Unicable tune fail error

As Abu says, both will do the job, but my answer is about setting up a Unicable system.

Please see the attached screen shots

Thats what am trying to do Huevos I have noting connected to the legacy inputs only the unicable input via a splitter

so unicable from the dish to the splitter then from the splitter one cable to to tuner A and One cable to Tuner B and then as per screen shot below as requested

Tuner A is not connected to Tuner B both are separate inputs as you have used the splitter to inputs A
& B

**Huevos** · 02-01-21, 13:40

So cables from splitter to socket A and socket B.

Both tuner A and tuner B must be "Connected: no".

All other tuners connect to tuner A, as in the screen grabs.

Great will give this a go and report back if I can get it to record multiple channels

Hi all i get is a tune failed left for about 5 mins from a cold boot

**thedoc11** · 02-01-21, 14:41

If I connect tuner a as connected to tuner B i get a picture straightaway

Hi, i had this same problem last year, i was informed in that post by abu baniaz that Gigablue had a bug with the drivers, i asked Gigablue about that but never received a satisfactory answer, i bought a Vu+ ultimo 4k, problem solved, not saying you should do that but informing you about my experience.

**abu baniaz** · 02-01-21, 15:17

What do you mean by "connect"?
A. The option in the menu
or
B "Physically connect wire"

**thedoc11** · 02-01-21, 16:06

option in the menu

**abu baniaz** · 02-01-21, 16:09

Please re-describe the wiring. I.e how you have hooked up the cables. Please be explicit/detailed as possible. (Might be just a repeat of post 18.)

**thedoc11** · 02-01-21, 16:29

This is the best i could do to explain

So from the dish to the splitter is one cable cable
from the splitter i have 2 cables connected directly to the STB one is going to tuner A and the other to Tuner B

hope this makes sense

Fantastic. Getting a diagram from some users is harder than getting blood out of stone. So thanks for the picture.

Just for reference, "Connected" in unicable language means "sharing signal wire from another tuner"

In terms of point of failures (POF):

1. LNB
2. Downlead from LNB to splitter
3. Splitter
4. Downlead from Splitter to Tuner A
5. Downlead from splitter to Tuner B
6. Configuration(software settings)

Firstly double check that the SCR/channels you can select match the LNB. If they don't we are on a wild goose chase and box will be trying to communicate on wrong frequency with LNB

I think we can rule out POF 1&2. Can you remove the splitter and "hook up" the signal cable to Tuner A. Check F- plug for loose strands too.
Apart from A, change all the tuner settings so that you are connected/sharing from Tuner A. Then try recordings, we will do further fault finding if required.

your very welcome with the diagram even though it looked like a child had drawn it lol

Can you remove the splitter and "hook up" the signal cable to Tuner A. Check F- plug for loose strands too. i have already done this to no avail
