    You may need to get a power inserter to stop LNB from sleeping

    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
    So we know you get signal on input B so connect cable only to B and connect C-> H to B , disable A just for the minute and see what happens

    I uploaded a video to demonstrate the issue I and others are experiencing here:
    https://www.world-of-satellite.com/s...l=1#post506453

    It may be possible that the power remains on from Tuner B, I have not tried it yet. I don't have any other receivers utilising the LNB, so it goes to sleep soon after my GB UE 4K stops using 28.2.

    Sorry no I have the 2 legacy ports on the lNB connected via a shotgun cable to the receiver, and a single cable for the unicable as well I have disconnected the unicable while i am recording until I get the unicable side of things fixed. Will get change later this evening to try all suggested fixes sorry my setup is gigablue quad 4k and a opticum robust 2 red

    I'm watching this thread with interest as i'm looking at idea of getting a FBC/Unicable setup but looks like it isn't as easy to setup compared to old/legacy shotgun twin cable

    So this is what I've read so far regarding OP setup:-
    OP has a Gigablue Quad 4k STB which comes with 1x twin FBC tuner (according to sponsor) in addition to any optional tuners.

    Along with an Opticum Red Robust Unicable LNB with 2x legacy.

    Feed from Unicable port on LNB to a splitter then to both inputs on twin FBC tuner. He has tried without splitter so feed from unicable LNB port direct to FBC tuner.

    Two built-in DVB-S2X FBC tuners and then i have added a cable tuner in the spare slot no USB tuners are added.

    So I have managed to get this running now, with the help and support of everyone.
    MY NEXT HURDLE IS THE FOLLOWING

    I have to wait approx 10 mins before channels bbc one, bbc two, itv, channel 4, and channel 5 all come on i get a service not found did not found in PAT error and a tune fail, switching between channels within the 10 mins
    i can record multiple channels ok once all channels are running. if i put the STB into standby or do a cold boot i have to wait again the 10 mins or so

    anybody got any ideas to over come this ???

    Yes totally agree i tried powering from tuner B and that doesn't work looks like a driver update is required to power the LNB continuously even if the stb is in standby, 10 mins from a cold start is way to long
