Hi I am having a few problems configuring my solo4K tuners I am running latest vix and have Inverto 32UL40 Jess2 LNB I had all 8 tuners running on previous Vix 4.0 but decided to update yesterday to 4.2.021

Now I can record only 3 separate tuners ACD then get a failed tune when going to Tuner E

Seems really odd and tried all I know even leaving powered off for a while. My tuner set up is same as pics in this thread but am now stuck

Appreciate any guidance.....

Thanks

Uploading your settings file may be simplest/best thing to do. You will find it in /etc/enigma2/ Zip it before attaching it to post.

 

[bentleyboys]

Thanks but think its sorted SCR4 for some reason didnt work moved it to another channel and all 7 run fine now just tested with all tuners active recording from each and all is now good

Thanks for coming back so quickly though I thought I was going mad Appreciate it

Tuner Fail when Recording Starts

I am having a few problems configuring my solo4K tuners I am running openVix 4.2 Build 23 and have Inverto 32UL40 Jess2 LNB II - all 8 tuners running perfectly, decided to update to 4.2.024.

As soon as a timed recorder starts the "viewed" channel begins to get tuner failed.

Have tried software upgrades and usb upgrades (with and without settings restore) to Builds 24,25,26, and 28 since same problem!!!

Any ideas on how to get latest build working properly

Fixes
-----

Restore and carry on using build 23 image - (no problems)

Run OpenBh 0.6 Build 27 - (no problems)

Nothing wrong in the image. Must be a setting wrong. Have you got force lnb power and force tone to yes?

If you have both "Force LNB Power" & "Force ToneBurst" set to Yes, these now need to be set to No.

Not on a Solo 4K. Both to yes.

They are both set to Yes
Just done "Software update"- Build 23 to 28 Problem back straight away

Working fine here on latest ViX image. I have 5 recordings on different transponders while watching another.

"Force LNB Power" & "Force ToneBurst" set to Yes or No makes no difference to the problem.
Do you know where in root the tuner settings are stored so that we could possibly compare them?

uncofigure tunerB

I noticed on the screen shots above that Tuner B was unconfigured.

I have unconfigured tuner B and changed tuner C to connect to tuner A and it seems to have sorted the problem out.

Does this make sense to you? (Everything worked perfectly while running build 23 with B configured)

 

[abu baniaz]

The unicable code changed. Old configs will not work.

You have to set your tuners again

Hello,
sorry for digging up an oldish post but I have just been setting up my ultimo4k with FBC sat and cable tuners and yesterday a new Unicable II - same model as described here. One cable from lnb to FBC Sat tuner. It seems to be working ok but not fully tested I did have a few box freezes when changing tuner config. Can someone please advise why the recommendation is to leave tuner b unconfigured ? or/and point me to the most recent FBC/Unicable II tuner setup guide. Thanks.

Tuner B is ideal for a Motorised Dish setup or you can put a feed from another 28.2 Dish etc.

Thanks for your time.

I have one cable going to the top tuner connection in the fbc tuner, is tuner B the other connection ? I assumed one cable in would be virtually spilt amongst the other 7 tuners. So if I have nothing connected to the lower connection should tuner B be set as not configured?

 

[Andy_Hazza]

Thats correct, set Tuner B to not configured if nothing is connected to it.

I've just installed a GT-Sat GT-S3DCSS24 SCR/dCSS Single Cable Unicable II LNB SCR24 with 3x Legacy Outputs.
Is it necessary to have each virtual tuner connected to the one immediately preceding it or is that just for Vu+ boxes?
Initially I had them all connected to Tuner A with different SCR's and it seemed to work alright on a Giga UHD Quad 4K and then I saw the configuration in post #1.

This thread was started more than a year ago when FBC was a relatively new concept. At the time there were driver problems with the VuSolo4K. This was the configuration suggested by Vu, but it did not cure the problem. Subsequently new drivers have been produced that don't require this config (which didn't cure the problem anyway).

My current setup on the Solo4K is just link all parasitic tuners to tuner A, which is the tuner that has the physical connection from the satellite dish.
