    That wont work either.

    To record two channels from two different transponders (on same device) you need either:

    • Two independent/direct/(i.e no splitter fitted) wires direct from conventional LNB to two satellite tuners.

    • A unicable LNB with a splitter and wires connected to the two tuners on the same device

    Yes I know, but as u have mentioned Unjcable will not work with motorised system.

    So the Solo se v2 is the only box I can use but obviously not full dual recording with limited function.

    Or I could go for VU+SOLO 2 and use one tuner and internally looped from B to A on a temporary basis and accept limited dual tuner function, until next summer during good weather I can have a go at re-cabling

    Loking at the specs between both of those receivers the only diffence is twin tuner function and internal hardrive capability both on the solo 2

    What makes you reach this conclusion? All twin tuner receivers can do this withone cable connected. The cable with no wore must be configured correctly. You need to connect wire to tuner B.

    Reading between the lines, being able to connect the satellite wire to two devices (TV being the second device) is a must fro you. In that case you can use a splitter that stops voltage going between devices. Voltage must go from one device to the LNB. Only this device will be able to send commands to the LNB. All other devices will not know they cannot control teh LNB and you will get tune failed if tehy attempt to tune to a service that is not on the same quadrant of servces that a standard LNB can tune to.

    A standard LNB can tune to horizontal, vertical, high and low planes. It switches mode when voltages are sent to it.

    I wonder, is the Et8500 near this apparatus. If so, why not just use that instead of getting a new receiver.

    I have a ET8500 but only use it as Terrestrial PVR (3 X dvbt2).

    I prefer the VU+ as sat receiver due to its support and development and features. Currently I have TM6800 hd supper using CCAM WITH usual problems of freezing and stutter, I guess the box was never designed to handle that.

    Hence the preference for VU+ as it can handle CCAM better being LINUX and plugin options.

    So my only hurdle like everyone mentions I need 2 cables or setlle for one on a temporary basis until I getthe chance to try and re-cable. I understand I can not use Unicable as I have A Motorised system.

    Specs don't tell the full story. Solo2 has a much more professional finish, and a front display. I've had both and much prefer the Solo2. And internal HDD is a massive plus.
