Hi all this is last forum I'll try need help setting my vu duo2 tuner settings up. Just ran a new cable from dish/lab shotgun cable. Fitted to both lnb in on back of back.
But when I come record anything when I turn over I get a black screen
Plz sum one advise me the settings
Thanks
check you are getting fta channels using both tuners
also make sure that the feeds are good from the lnb to each of the 2 tuners, no short circuits etc
check the settings for both tuners, where tuner B may need to be set to equal to tuner A
Can you also please tell us which image you have loaded.
Are you using a motorized dish, with twin LNB, or fixed dish set up?
Thanks for reply using fixed dish with quad lnb using black hole 2.1.5
Do I need tuner b set up. Just got 2 cables going into tuner A LNB IN
I've changed setting tuner b to equal tuner a and I've got it record bbc1hd and I switched to bbc2hd but that's the only channel that will show. Baffling
should have one cable into tuner A lnb input and one cable into tuner B lnb input
the settings should have tuner B equal to tuner A
then try recording bbc1 and switching to bbc2
Now I understand I only have one tuner A with both lnb Going into it. Thought that was all I needed.
But In tuner configuration it shows tuner B.
image.jpghis is my set up. So I can't record and watch another program
I find it strange that you dont have a tuner B in the second slot, I thought a duo2 would have twin tuners as standard ?
(my duo1 and solo2 have twin tuners as standard)
I also find the labelling strange, as one should say IN and the other should say OUT (for onward linking to a second sat box) - the top one is normally IN
did you order a duo 2 with twin sat tuners ?
No just with one. Do I need to order another tuner to be able to record another channel while watching another
yes and no
yes if they are on different transponders
no if the 2 (or more) channels are on the same transponder
so ideally , YES (channels will tend to be on different transponders)
I have attached a picture of a duo2 with twin sat tuners
Think we're getting there sorry I'm new to all this. I thought by just adding the extra line to tuner 2 it would be able to record another channel. Any idea how much tuner B would be
No. What you have is a dual tuner module in a single unit
I also have a Duo2 and mine has LNB Out which means it is a single tuner in a single unit. I have a second T/C module as a second tuner.
So what tuner do I exactly need to buy to be able to record one channel and watch another. Sorry for being a pain
afraid I have no idea about prices of tuners , sorry
the tuner you have already should be an IN on the top and an OUT at the bottom
you need a second one fitting into the tuner B slot and then attach the second coax to the top lnb IN on it
then your image will need to be set to 2 tuners , with tuner B equal to tuner A
this will allow 2 (or more) channels to be recorded simultanously or watch one channel and record one (or more) channels at the same time
the caveat on tuners is that the channels need to be on the same transponder for multiple use
having 2 tuners allows to independent channels to be accessed, possibly more , as one will be on coax A and the other on coax B (tuner A and tuner B)
sly plus uses this method to record 2 different channels, OR to watch one channels and record another channel
your picture doesnt make it clear but nikkas may be correct, it may be one twin tuner card but you say you ordered with a single tuner, not twin tuners ?
Thanks pal. So what use is mine with 2 lnb ins. Sorry to seem dumb. New to this
seems to me that your duo2 is fitted with a twin tuner card already, giving the required 2 inputs
I was expecting it to have 2 separate cards, one in tuner A and one in tuner B with lnb outputs as well
so I believe you already have what you require
You have the same receiver as I do, a VU+ Duo 2, the label Tuner A is misleading, as it contains a double tuner,as Echelon has stated.
The VU+ Duo 2 can have up to 4 satellite tuners, 2 in Tuner A, and 2 in Tuner B.
Just run one cable to the top input, and one cable to the second input.
As you have a quad LNB you can always add a second tuner card and run 4 cables, from the LNB, one to each tuner.
