[VU+ Ultimo4K] ITV London HD shows Tune Failed

[abu baniaz]

You have screwed up the tuner configuration. It should not be connected.

If you have wires in A&B only. How are tuners in the second module/card going to get signal.



Get someone with a tablet/smartphone to take a picture like asked last month.

I don't have access to a cameraphone nor does anybody in my house have a cameraphone. I don't understand why you need a photo when I've already said where the sat cables are connected to?:

I have 2 sat cables from a standard LNB going into twin Tuner A. The back of the box says "Tuner A".

One cable from a standard LNB is going into the bottom port of Twin Tuner B. The back of the box says "Tuner B". A photo isn't going to show anything different to what I said.

I'll try the other things you said later on as I'm recording at the moment.

The letters you are using atre wrong. Use the correct letters. Why have you set tuner I as configured when it does not have a signal wire?

You need to show the actual tuner setup, not the screen before it. Go into the tuner setting to take a screenshot. Stop wasting YOUR time.

It is no longer necessary. You started this thing several weeks ago and we have finally sussed out what you mean. From now on, please use the correct tuner letters.

You dont need to any more. The problem is you told the box tuner I has signal when it doesnt. It should be disabled or set as "loop through"

If any of your tuners are in advanced mode, you are going to keep getting errors. This is why we wanted you to get screenshots of the actual tuner configuration.

Last week, in 2 separate threads, you said "I've got 4 cables going into 2 twin FBC tuners. Connected to standard LNB."

Make sure you describe precisely what you're doing, and follow abu's advice to the letter, otherwise everyone will be going round in circles.

 

[abu baniaz]

Can you try setting A, B, and J (based on the current description) as:
simple, single, 28.2

Do not use "Equal to"

Thanks. I've done that then I restarted my box. Got a very strange problem now. I'm only recording 3 channels at once: Sky News, RT HD, and BBC One Scotland HD. It won't let me record ITV or Drama in addition but it WILL let me record an extra 4 other channels at once: BBC Four HD, BBC Two HD, Channel 4 HD and Channel 5 HD which are all on different transponders as well as 4 radio stations at once! Any idea why? These FBC tuners seem to have a mind of their own. When I had 4 cables connected, I never had this issue. But when you remove one cable they seem to be very particular about which of the tuner slots can record a certain channel.

 

[abu baniaz]

Without you saying which transponders you are trying to access simultaneously, not possible to say. Just saying the names is not very useful.

 

[abu baniaz]

Just to clarify, are the leaf tuners set to FBC Automatic?

 

[abu baniaz]

Tuner slots do not matter.

You currently have three physical tuner connections with signal. You need to refer to these, not the slots. They must be configured to match what is attached to them.

 

[SkyFan]

A, B, and J are: simple, single, 28.2

Everything else is FBC automatic.

How do I find out which transponders names I'm trying to access simultaneously? I go to green button > Current Transponder. I thought that mentions the channels which are on the same transponder? It doesn't give me the name of the transponder.

Strangely it doesn't have a problem with letting me record ITV HD only ITV London HD.

 

[SkyFan]

Don't know why it's letting me record ITV HD but not ITV London HD when they're on the same transponder aren't they? I checked via green button > Current Transponder.

 

[ronand]

Itv London hd is not on the same transponder as Itv hd.

 

[SkyFan]

So why does it say it is via green button > Current Transponder when watching one of those channels? If I can't trust what I see then what's the point of that menu option?

 

[ronand]

Probably outdated info. They used to be on the same transponder but Itv London hd moved a few weeks ago. Delete your autotimer and set it up on the correct service.

How can that info be outdated when I'm watching the live channel then I went to green button > Current Transponder? How can it report a transponder that it's not on, doesn't make sense.

How do I setup future ITV London HD timers to be on the correct service?

 

[BrokenUnusableAccount]

At the moment my box seems to call several ITV HD services just "ITV HD".
I think at the moment it doesn't know which region is which for all the regions, perhaps some table on an OpenViX server needs to be updated.
It used to know the best ITV HD for my region was, from memory, "ITV Meridian South HD" but now it's just "ITV HD".
So it may be that at present channels called just "ITV HD" occur both on the same transponder as "ITV London HD" and on different transponder(s).

 

[bellejt]

just did scan on 11097 and indeed they all show as ITV HD. Before the extentions were seen so you saw ITV Meridian xxx and so on.Strange.

The ITV regions all changed on October 20th to give local news on 103.

If you are seeing "ITV London HD" on the current transponder then it is outdated info in your receiver. There is no channel scanning in as "ITV London HD". ITV London HD scans in as "ITV HD" and is on 12363V. All the English variants are now called just "ITV HD". You need to go through the epg listings for a channel to see which variant it is. If you are watching a variant on 11067 and your receiver still has the old entries in its database then itv london hd will show on that transponder.

Here is a list of the various ITV HD channels
