Unicable tune fail error

[bbbuk]

I agree with @Abu, it maybe easier to buy another LNB (unless supply and fitting of current LNB is under warranty) and fit this yourself or pay someone to fit if not possible to fit yourself.

This would mean that should this issue continue with new LNB you can then go to supplier of your box and say you have tested cable and replaced LNB with a new one so only thing left is box/tuner.

Box was purchased from The sponsor here
the LNB was purchased on Amazon can't return to them I defo think its the LNB and not the STB as the STB is functioning fine.

I agree it definitely does point towards LNB.

If you were to buy another LNB (ie one from sponsor), would you be able to replace this yourself as that would save you a fortune as @Abu mentioned?

Yes I think I could do it myself I have a basic meter to check signal strength just need to get a hold of a ladder and away we go lol.:thumbsup:

BTW got in touch with amazon to request a warranty return just waiting for a answer back.

I did place my meter between the unicable LNB and the STB and the meter jumps in signal all over the place 23% then to 99% then down to 2% etc, If i turn the STB off then I loose all the signal and then after about 10 mins it will show a week signal and then jump about if you change channel again

The Legacy outputs just stay at 99% all the time and does not move, even if I turn on and off or change channel.

If your careful (and lucky) enough, you maybe able to replace LNB without having to move dish at all.

The LNB is a bit far out so I may have to pull it close to the wall, swap it over then find the signal and tweak I changed the fittings on the LNB last week and I could only just reach the lNB but its a bit far out to swap

Ok so today I replaced the LNB with a GIGABLUE scr 24 Unicable one and low and behold as soon as i added the advanced settings as unicable to the tuner settings everything came on first time every time no tune fails or loss of channels after reboots etc.

I just want to take this opportunity to say thank you to the team for the support, knowledge and expertise in fault finding and isolating it to the LNB. I shipped the Opticum back to german today to have it tested will update what is reported back.

Great to know - hopefully you can now enjoy a continued & excellent reception on your Giga LNB

so I have a Gigablue Quad 4K & UE 4K

Just connected to what I think is a standard lnb only tuners A and B are enabled but I can watch at the same time BBC1 HD, Channel 4 HD, ITV2, POP, and Dave. Why is this possible?

That is because the other tuners will work in loop through mode.
