How to Connect Up to 32 Satellites Using Cascaded Diseqc Switches (4x1 & 8x1)

This guide explains the most cost-effective method for connecting up to 32 satellite LNBs to a single receiver tuner. By cascading Diseqc switches—specifically one 8x1 switch and multiple 4x1 switches—you can significantly expand your system's capacity. For simpler setups with 8 or fewer satellites, a single 8x1 Diseqc switch (version 1.1) is sufficient.

Tuner configuration setup for a Motorised dish using stored positions

This is a quick tutorial to show the tuner configuration settings for a Motorised dish setup without using Usals.

Tuner A is connected to the motorised dish,and is being used in "Advanced" setting.

The first screenshot shows page 1 of the settings and screenshot 2 shows page 2 where you will need to input you Long & Latitude settings for where you are. (You can use Dishpointer or Google maps to get this info)

USALS has been set to "No". For the dish motor to move to each sat position that…

How to setup and use OpenViX ‘Client Mode’

Client mode allows you run a client Enigma 2 receiver over an existing network without the need for any signal feeds. All channels and EPG data will be imported from main Server receiver.

1) Only certain skins currently show Client mode setup button. Switch to default ViX Night HD skin to setup. Once setup you can switch back to your preferred skin. To re-access Client Mode setup switch back to ViX Night HD skin.

2) Menu > Setup > Service Searching > Tuner Configuration > See ‘Client Mode’…

GT-Sat GT-dLNB1DY and tuner configuration

Below is a guide for configuring the GT-sat Unicable LNB with FBC tuners with only one wire and no splitters

ABM and CrossEPG require sole control of a Tuner, so you will get blackouts while they run.
(As a reminder, FBC tuners and Unicable are two separate technologies.
You can use Unicable LNBs with non-FBC tuners. Eg Dreambox 500, Vu Solo 2, Technomate Nano 3t combo
You can use an FBC tuner with universal (normal) LNBs.
FBC with unicable offers more than FBC with universal.)
For this guide,…

Unicable devices and tune failed messages

Unicable devices and tune failed messages


The default delay built into enigma2 between powering up an LNB/switch and sending tuning instructions is not sufficient for Unicable devices. This means from a cold start or first satellite service selection a "tune failed" message is displayed.

Unicable devices are digital devices. That means a finite amount of time is required to elapse for the Unicable device to boot, between being powered up and receiving the first instructions on what to tune.…

Brief description of Multi-Switches

Multi-switches:


Unicable2/Jess multi-switches are also available. Like conventional multi-switches, they will allow the user to combine terrestrial and satellite signal and send out to several face plates. These come in various types. Most will require a Quattro LNB, some will take a Quad LNB.

Brief description of an FBC tuner

Receivers like Vu Solo4K, Vu Ultimo 4K, Gigablue Quad 4K have FBC tuners.


Please do not assume you can only use Unicable with FBC tuners. The two technologies are separate and independent. Yes, you will achieve more if you combine the two.


Brief description of an FBC tuner:




A satellite FBC unit/module consists of two tuners with physical connections and 6 leaf tuners without physical connections.


The two physical connections can have different signal source. E.g. One motorised, one…

Unicable LNBs and motorised dishes

Unicable LNBs and motorised dishes

A Unicable LNB is a technology which allows multiple users (or multiple tuners) to access satellite broadcasts over a single coaxial cable and eliminates the need for the numerous cables required by a conventional system. In order to satisfy all users of the system the dish must remain permanently orientated to the one satellite that all the users wish to receive programing from. If the dish were to move from its permanent orientation this would disturb the…

Unicable tuner configuration for Non-FBC tuners

Unicable tuner configuration for Non-FBC tuners:

It should be something similar to this.

Type of LNB/device = SCR (Unicable/Jess)

SCR (Unicable/Jess) type = LNB. Unless you are using a Unicable/Jess switch.

Manufacturer = self explanatory

Model = self explanatory

Position = leave this as 1. (Some LNBs can be programmed and used in combination)

Repeat for every tuner. Make sure that you do not re-use the same user band channel. This applies to all tuners accessing the LNB, even if they…

Guide to using Unicable

Guide to using Unicable

A guide to explain possible usages of Unicable/Unicable 2 LNBs. Unicable 2 is also known as JESS
I would like to start off by stating that Unicable LNBs do not need specific tuners. You can use them with a "normal" receiver like: Technomate Nano SE, Vu Solo 2, Vu Duo, Xtrend 8000, Gigablue Quad, Mutant HD51 In the old days, LNBs generally came with a single port. You could only connect to one receiver. Then came Quad LNBs which had four connections, Octo LNBs with…
