    Unicable Settings and Tuning Issues

    Hi,

    I am having problems with tuning the receiver with my Gigablue UHD UE 4K using an Inverto unicable LNB (Details in my signature).

    Following forum discussions I moved from a single cable setup to a dual cable setup. Before starting, I checked both cables on my smart TV to check they were working properly and they were. The Inverto only has 4 scr so only 4 tuners could be set up as shown here:

    Each tuner has been set up as follows:

    Vix2.jpg

    Vix3.jpg

    Vix4.jpg

    Vix5.jpg

    Once setup and rebooted I checked the signal for each of the four tuners. A and B were fine but nothing shown on C and D, possibly because the tuner was not being called on to show a programme?

    I then did four recordings from the main guide which still showed all the channels previously scanned, most I set as immediate from the guide with one timed. They all worked.

    However I then noticed that the freesat selections I had done through ABM were not working (can't remember exactly what made me realise it and I have no screenshot). So I tried to update the Freesat settings and got this result:

    Vix11.jpg

    I noticed it was using tuner B not A (any reason why?). The result was odd because when I checked the signal it was still fine. I have read that the delay on unicable can be an issue and I see that Abu has posted instructions on what to do when the "Tune Failed" messages comes up (and it has on a couple of occasions) but before I mess with that I wanted to get feedback on the results so far.

    The results of the scan only gave 260 channels not the 800+ that I had. I then noticed that it was 26 copies of the same ten channels.

    When I then looked at the freesat listings, most channels were not there. I tried to rescan again but it once more would not let me:

    I do not think it is a signal problem (but it might be). I think the settings are as they should be (but could others check please?). So I am unclear why the scanning is not now working in this new 2 cable setup.

    Hope someone can help.
