Tuner b set up for recording

[maclee]

I'm baffled now. I'd pay some one to solve this. I have one card inserted and both lnb inputs say IN but wen i a do a sat finder test tuner b reads 0%. Think I set my box up with 2 tuners a first install

[echelon]

put the box on bbc1 and one of the 2 cables in the top connector, leave the second one disconnected
then check bbc1 works ok

now replace the cable in the top one with the second cable and again check bbc1 works ok (leaving the first cable disconnected)

this will tell you if both cables are working ok

Both Tuners set to Simple & Single tested as per Echelon's instructions and you should be good to go.

My money is on dodgy connection.

[maclee]

Echelon done as you said and correct worked with one cable then the other didn't work

[echelon]

Echelon done as you said and correct worked with one cable then the other didn't work

that means you have a fault on the coax cable, the one that didnt work

check there are no short circuits from the braid to the inner core

so check the f connectors and connections at both ends

when you get a picture on the faulty one, reconnect both to the duo2 and test that both tuners work

[Nikkas]

If you have a multimeter check end to end for continuity..

[maclee]

No multi meter. May have to replace all cable

[echelon]

if its new shotgun cable, its more likely to be your f connections, especially any short circuit

most faults are human error

[maclee]

Fault at lnb checked and stripped connector running ok. Now for next problem. I can only view free to air when recording other channels. Arrrrrrrgh

[echelon]

use cccam v2.30 , or oscam

if I was to put a twin tuner in my ultimo I would have to make sure I have single tuner in 1 and 2 and twin in slot 3

The VU+ Duo 2 only has 2 tuner slots:

Vu+ Duo2 Features:

2 x Plug & Play tuner slots suitable for DVB-S2 / DVB-C / T / DVB-S2 Dual
tuners

[cosworth4x4]

@ techmate 3rd slot is there in the case but not on the board .

[Mickha]

I think the VU+ Ultimo had 3xTuner slots, so they might have used the same cases.

Thanks for all ya help people all sorted now after spending half a day finding a dodgy connection. Then not being able to record other channels. But after installing ccam 2.3.0 and setting sat configure to single everything is working as it shud. Sorry for being so thick but just learning as I go.
THANKS

the cccam info is in the tutorial sticky thread, as I amended it telling people to use cccam v2.30 with new images

DUMMIES guide - section 4 , part 2) , in blue

suggest you have a good read of those sticky threads as they get amended regularly with up to date details

glad your 2 issues are now sorted out , plus you now know you ordered a twin sat tuner model, not a single tuner model
