Unicable II, Inverto IDLU-32UL40-UNB00-0PP, FBC tuners

[Tump]

How do I remove the 19.2 entry? It doesn't show up on the individual configure tuner pages, but shows as both on the tuner setup summary.

Press right/left until 19.2 is selected. Then change it to " not configured" as per screenshot earlier.

Magic! All sorted. many thanks for your help.

Hi,

My LNB is a different model with 4 scr (details below). I have looked for a more detailed Satellite Tuning Guide but cannot find one. I have read the guide ver. 1.1 and whilst it was very helpful in getting me started, it does not go into the settings for tuners in enough detail for my needs. Are there other guides available that will help me understand how best to set up my receiver or should I just use the forum to get assistance?

I currently have two cables connected and I am sure these are set up right but it is the leaf tuners that I am trying to get right.

I started with a single cable as I understood the leaf tuners (set to FBC Automatic) would sort themselves out but I maxed out at two recordings. I was not able to record a third channel or view a separate live programme. I applied a splitter and tested the output signal before attaching a second cable to the receiver.

However, even with the two cables connected and the leaf tuners set to FBC Automatic (as suggested by Abu in this thread) I seem to be restricted to two programmes. When I try to record a third it gives me a timer conflict(?). I can however watch a third channel live. When I press record whilst watching this third channel it starts the recording but now I cannot watch a further channel. So two cables are maxing out at 3 channels.

Early in the post it implied that each tuner needs to be set to a separate scr. Is this required or should FBC Automatic work? I only have 4 SCR available (at the moment) so even if I try this I would still need to leave four tuners on Automatic.

Can someone guide me on the best setup please?

Really can't give details of Teamblue Unicable setup as they don't use the same as us. For OpenViX you just need one cable connected (to tuner A) unless you are using multiple LNBs. You link all the other tuners to this tuner. All tuners have to be properly set up for Unicable, not "FBC Automatic". And each tuner will need a unique SCR that corresponds with your LNB. As your LNB only has 4 SCRs you will only be able to receive from a maximum of 4 multiplexes simultaneously.

Thanks Huevos.

It is a Gigablue machine but running Vix.

Will adjust two of the leaf tuners and order a newer LNB to obtain more scr.

I was going to get another Inverto unless you recommend something else?

Any of these LNB's/Splitters will be fine:

Leaf tuners should be set up as per the main tuners but should be 'connected to' whichever of the main tuners has a cable connected.

Each tuner should have a different 'scr' value so at the moment you can only set 4 up and leave the rest as 'FBC Automatic'.

I've added a couple of images to my previous post.

Hi Willo

All done. I am now testing recording. 5 set up (so no live tv) just to see what happens.

Why do you call it a leaf tuner. Sounds like you have read a bad translation somewhere.

The term seems to have been around for quite a few years now. This is an example from the Pli forum in 2016:

Do the tuners without a physical connection actually have a name?

[Huevos]

Yeah, as I thought, a bad translation of something in Dutch.

i.e. if it is not root it must be a leaf, LOL.

[GeoffatMM]

Branch tuner? Need to see the original Dutch to find out.

FWIW, there aren't 8 tuners. There is just one tuner matrix that has 2 input sockets. The rest is just a software trick so enigma sees the hardware in a way it can relate to.
