    Auto Diseqc Detection?

    Hello,

    I live in an apartment building with quite a large deployment of coaxial points (I have one on each room). I am trying to find a method of detecting the distribution system behind this coaxial in hopes of being able to find a splitting mechanism. Near my TV, I have a coaxial point connected to my twin-tuner Vu+ Uno 4K SE. From the coaxial point, I can get a single cable that carries 3 satellite positions (13E, 7W, 26E) on Port A, B, C (under Advanced settings for my tuner selection). I would like to use the single point to split this signal to two so I can run two cables into the box. The use case will be to record and to dedicate some of the tuners to SAT2IP > TVH.

    If I am able to detect the distribution, I am hoping to find a splitter which can take the single coaxial faithfully, and split the Port A, B, C into two coaxial cable to the 2 tuners, and potentially watch on channel on the box, and stream another (from another satellite position). For fuller information, the tuner in the box is FBC capable.


    Any thoughts on how I can approach this? Thanks!

    I am doubtful that I can access the building's system (large gated community that serves loads of villas/apartment buildings), but what I can probably do is connect another cheaper FBC box to another room, and see if I can ethernet that tuner to my main box (although, it may just be that I can use that box for SAT2IP exclusively). Thanks very much for all your help!

    You received replies on another forum. The FBC tuner with non-unicable input will work as internal loop through. You will only be able to receive same plane/quadrant as the main tuner. You are wasting money getting another receiver with FBC tuner. A non-FBC tuner will do the limited function you intend. Remember, it is pot luck with no feedback as to why the client won't work.
