Unicable tune fail error

[thedoc11]

Great will give this a go and report back if I can get it to record multiple channels :sofahide:

Hi all i get is a tune failed left for about 5 mins from a cold boot

 

[thedoc11]

If I connect tuner a as connected to tuner B i get a picture straightaway

Hi, i had this same problem last year, i was informed in that post by abu baniaz that Gigablue had a bug with the drivers, i asked Gigablue about that but never received a satisfactory answer, i bought a Vu+ ultimo 4k, problem solved, not saying you should do that but informing you about my experience.

What do you mean by "connect"?
A. The option in the menu
or
B "Physically connect wire"

 

[thedoc11]

option in the menu

 

[abu baniaz]

Please re-describe the wiring. I.e how you have hooked up the cables. Please be explicit/detailed as possible. (Might be just a repeat of post 18.)

Setup

This is the best i could do to explain

So from the dish to the splitter is one cable cable
from the splitter i have 2 cables connected directly to the STB one is going to tuner A and the other to Tuner B

hope this makes sense

Fantastic. Getting a diagram from some users is harder than getting blood out of stone. So thanks for the picture.

Just for reference, "Connected" in unicable language means "sharing signal wire from another tuner"

In terms of point of failures (POF):

1. LNB
2. Downlead from LNB to splitter
3. Splitter
4. Downlead from Splitter to Tuner A
5. Downlead from splitter to Tuner B
6. Configuration(software settings)

Firstly double check that the SCR/channels you can select match the LNB. If they don't we are on a wild goose chase and box will be trying to communicate on wrong frequency with LNB

I think we can rule out POF 1&2. Can you remove the splitter and "hook up" the signal cable to Tuner A. Check F- plug for loose strands too.
Apart from A, change all the tuner settings so that you are connected/sharing from Tuner A. Then try recordings, we will do further fault finding if required.

your very welcome with the diagram even though it looked like a child had drawn it lol


Can you remove the splitter and "hook up" the signal cable to Tuner A. Check F- plug for loose strands too. i have already done this to no avail

You may need to get a power inserter to stop LNB from sleeping

Why? This LNB works perfectly on my Giga4K.

So we know you get signal on input B so connect cable only to B and connect C-> H to B , disable A just for the minute and see what happens

Wifes got some recordings on at the moment on legacy so will have a go later and report back team

So do the 2 legacy ports go to the Solo2 or ?????

@thedoc11
I uploaded a video to demonstrate the issue I and others are experiencing here:

It may be possible that the power remains on from Tuner B, I have not tried it yet. I don't have any other receivers utilising the LNB, so it goes to sleep soon after my GB UE 4K stops using 28.2.

Sorry no I have the 2 legacy ports on the lNB connected via a shotgun cable to the receiver, and a single cable for the unicable as well I have disconnected the unicable while i am recording until I get the unicable side of things fixed. Will get change later this evening to try all suggested fixes sorry my setup is gigablue quad 4k and a opticum robust 2 red

So you have a plugin dvb-s2x tuner for legacy??

 

[thedoc11]

yes the original tuners that came with my quad stb then i added a cable tuner to the second slot

So quad stb tuners are usb tuners or ? ........can you define exactly what tuners you have and the type.... I am getting totally confused as to the actual config of this box
