    GT-S3DSSR24 should work fine. Uses same userbands as the LNB you have.

    Every tuner needs to be configured to make full use of the LNB. If you don't configure it, it will be in FBC Automatic, i.e loop through mode.

    Attach the file called "settings" in /etc/enigma2 You will need to zip it.

    I've had times that after setting all 8 tuners receiver needs a reboot. Menu > Standby & Restart > Reboot.

    One thing, please don't take offence to this, but make 100% sure you're using the Unicable output on LNB. You just need one cable feed to Tuner A, then follow the guide mentioned above.
