Connecting Unicable LNB to DVB-S2 FBC Twin Tuner to Vu+ duo 4K SE

[Akita]

When there are problems when recording with DVB-S2 FBC Twin Tuner.
Several have pointed this out.
The only thing I have read is to get Unicable LNB.

Only one cable to DVB-S2 FBC Twin Tuner A.
DVB-S2 FBC Twin Tuner B is left untouched.

Is there a diagram for how DVB-S2 FBC Twin Tuner A and B
should be configured and also C, D, E, F……

Hi
I am using a SAT-CR lnb (Unicable)
"Inverto IDLU-32UL40-UNBOO-OPP"
my son is using this
"Inverto IDLU-32L412-UNBRR-OPP"

I have 2 VU-Duo4kse.

Here is my setup on my basement VU-Duo4kse. (No 2.)
FYI:
One feed is going into TunerA.
TunerB is connented to TunerA internally via setup.
All tunersetups have unique "User Band" channel setup.

Best regards

Thanks for a very good info.

FYI:
My “cable system” is not tip-top to my VU-Duo4kse. (No 1.)
So i have to select this "User Band" channel setup 1, 12, 3, 14, 5, 6, 7, 8 to avoid interference.

It may not be your cable that is the issue.

I also used to have that Inverto lnb, and would have issues with the higher userbands (low signal, no signal or interference), so whilst it was supposed to be 32 users, only 25ish were usable.

Swapped the lnb for a different Unicable II lnb about 18 months ago (cable wasn't replaced) and the issues vanished.

What does 2 mean? (Unicable II)
Is it the second generation LNB?
For me, the GT-SAT Unicable LNB GT-S3dCSS24 24UB with 3 older outputs for DVB-S2 would be suitable.
Three older ones for my Vu+duo2 and Unicable for Vu+duo4k

Okay, super, thx.
Can you please share your "Unicable II lnb" model name, and is it recommendable !?
Did the "zapping time" improve etc. etc.

Thx.
Best regards

if you have modern OpenBH on your VU+duo2 then you can use Sat-CR (UniCable) on VU+duo2 too.
Just choose/buy a SAT-CR lnb (Unicable) that are on the OpenBH model list.

Best regards.

Dur-line UK 124-3L is what I replaced it with and I would recommed it over the Inverto 32UL40.

If you don't want / need legacy, then there is a newer Inverto IDLU-32L412-UNBRR-OP, I bought 1, but never fitted it as I decided to get the Dur-line instead, so couldn't say if it's any good or not.

Zapping time is "slightly" improved, but not a huge amount in it tbh.

Unicable II is a standard.

Unicable = 4 tuners (or different transponders)

Unicable II = Upto 32 tuners (or different transponders)

I have an old Vu+duo2, Black Hole 3.1.
Works fine.
