Gigablue UE 4k - Unicable/FBC setup issues (Tune Failed)

[abedegno]

Hi,

I've just upgraded my LNB from a quad to a Gigblue Ultra SCR LNB (2 x legacy + 1 x SCR). All inputs appear to work fine, with 100% signal strength.

The receiver works fine when I only have tuner A configured, as soon as I try to configure the 7 other tuners as per the sticky thread here:
Unicable II, Inverto IDLU-32UL40-UNB00-0PP, FBC tuners
And then force the tuner to test (Setup->Tuners & Scanning -> Misc -> Preferrer Tuner (B-H) I get a Tune failed error.
I have tried following the steps in this sticky thread:
Unicable devices and tune failed messages
Which doesn't help either.

I was able to temporarily get all the tuners working by:
1) Configuring just one of the tuners (Setup -> Tuners and Scannning -> Tuner Setup)
2) Testing the tuner (Setup->Tuners & Scanning -> Misc -> Preferrer Tuner) - Although tuner indicator is blank for tuners (E-H) I assumed it switched (UI Bug?)
3) Repeat 1 and 2 in turn for each tuner
However this morning tuners B-H have stopped working and I get tune failed.

I'm running ViX 5.3.039 - perhaps I'm encountering some bugs and should upgrade to 5.4?

Thanks

Abe

I had the same issue until I gave each tuner a unique LNB.

In the thread you linked, ALL tuners are connecting to LNB 1.

That looks correct if you followed teh sticky except I assume that you are using the GigaBlue scrs??

Yes - followed the sticky exactly except for setting the correct (Gigablue) LNB model.

I feel like I'm hitting a bug as it works temporarily. I will try upgrading the firmware.

Sorry to ask a silly question, are you using the correct output on the LNB?

Which model LNB is it?

 

[abedegno]

Gigablue ultra SCR and yes, I'm using the correct output.

I've just upgraded to 5.4 and the problem seems to be fixed.

Just to add to this I had the same issue with a Unicable JESS multiswitch ISKY-UST110-CUO8O.
The main tuner would work fine but I would start getting tuner errors when adding 2 or more leaf tuners.

Due to the above I upgraded from 5.3.039 to 5.4 and the issue has gone away.

Now I am just waiting for that moment when I need to record 8 channels simultaneously
