    Unicable tune fail error

    Happy New year to you all.

    Wondering if anyone can shed light on this for me please
    i have a opticum red robust unicable LNB 2 legacy, Giggablue quad 4k STB . using VIX image 5.4 latest
    when i switch the STB on i get a tune failed error and then after approx 3-4 mins on some occasions the channel will appear.
    There are other times where the channel will not come on at all and have to turn the STB off for sometime and try again. Yesterday the STB was set on record I left it the STB on standby and when i came back the tune failed error was displayed and the channels did not record there were 2 recordings that failed to record both at the same time. Seem to me when the box ws placed in standby the power to the LNB also was cut off ??
    Is there a workaround or am i doing something wrong ??

    Ive attached the images for tuner A and B the setting for the rest of the tuner C - H are the same except the user band is changed to from 3 through to 8

    Have you read the sticky about tune failed messages at the top of this forum? You do have the SEC plugin installed and correctly set up, right?

    Not sure why you didn‘t connect to input A and then coonnect everything off A, but anyway.....
    I have the same LNB on one of my GBUHD4K and the connected tuners all have configuration mode FBC SCR (Unicable/JESS)
    Gigablue Quad 4K & UE 4K
    .........FBC Tuners:
    ------------------> GT-Sat unicable LNB to 1.5M dish(28.2E)
    ------------------> Gigablue unicable LNB to 80 cm dish(19.2E)

    The LNB only has 8 SCR‘s so just connect direct to input A and setup with Tuners B through H connected to tuner A, there is no need for a splitter

    I'd connect both. In some situations this is an advantage. E.g. you can run ABM without a blackout.

    You need to post screenshots of the setup of every tuner.

    Please post screen grabs, not photographs.

    Both outputs from the splitter or both the unicable output from the LNB and one of the legacy outputs from the LNB?

    If you have legacy ports, either option will do. But tuner configuration must match your choice.

    Setting the tuner connected to universal port of LNB as unicable is wrong. It should be set as simple, single, 28.2 (as an example)
