New LNB required

I don't want to confuse the installer yet again as i've already changed from hybrid to quad now octo if i mention unicable he may just think i'm playing games

if i need to upgrade the LNB again if/when i get a motorised dish then so be it i also at the moment don't want any new cabling and not sure if having an unicable will mean i need new cables or can be used with my current two

atm i just want to get it done i've got the VU+ UNO ordered and hopefully will have the LNB installed next week and the price quoted is excellent

Well if your going motorised on E2 i wouldnt bother with a unicable lnb stick to universal.
 
I'd have two dishes, if possible. One for 28.2 with a unicable LNB. And the motorised on the other.

With a universal LNB and two cables, only two tuners will have independent access to signal. The other 6 can only operate in loop-through mode. If you can, you should really go for a unicable LNB. You can use the existing wiring. Besides, you only need one cable, hence the name. Having 8 tuners with independent access, means that should you get another Enigma2 receiver, you can use the tuners on the Uno 4k without having to run cables to the other receivers. You can even use your firestick. Although they can still do that with a universal LNB, they are limited by the universal LNB.
 
Would someone be able to recommend me a unicable LNB, please? Weather's getting better so I want to change the fixed 28.2E dish's LNB to a unicable one.

Thanks in advance

4K SE twins! :smiley:

Did you have to customise it much in Tuner Settings, or were there presets available?

I might just go for the Inverto as suggested above, for a fiver more.
 
Well if you got the duraline then I could say whet i did but in reality its prettya straight forward. I use openvix image and just checked for the inverto lnb and it is supported. when you chnage from universal lnb in the tuner settings to unicable and put n the exact model you configure the tuners, If you use one cable get 8 tuners and if you split the cable to use the twin fbc tuners you get 16, You assign each tuner a scr reference 1 is 1260 or such like. i have a motorised dish so only use one tuner but I also have unicable connected to a dup4kse and the number of tumers is limiless. nevver realy needed but they are there.

But its easy once you set it up once,

Thank you, sir.

I have 28.2E on tuner 1 and motor on Tuner 2, so it will only be used for the 1st tuner. Will order it soon and then get up on the ladder and change it on the sky dish.

thank you all for the advice and help
