Ok my current setup is :
1m Motorized Dish with a Technomate Quad LNB
RG6 Cable
2 ports of the LNB going into the back of my VU+ Duo2 and a Dual Cable Tuner.
Now i know i can use the cable tuner in the 4K so that's great.
So the wife like to record a lot of soaps ect so with the auto-timer 3 min startup and 5 min over run this limits me to recording/Viewing 2 Sat channels at once and as i have now idea how to setup the duo2 to fall back and use the cable tuners when both sat tuners are busy (is it even possible) so i have started looking at the 4K as my possible solution as it says you can record/view up-to 8 channels at the same time with the FBC tuner installed.
From if i understand what everyone is saying then
1) With my existing cabling and LNB the 4K will still only be able to Record/view 2 Satellite channels at the same time ? :confuse:
2) If i change the LNB for a Unicable LNB the box would then be able to record/view 8 satellite channels at the same time ? :clap:
I Can not find anything about fitting a unicable LNB onto a Motorized system so is it possible to as 99% of the time my dish is pointed to 28E but occasionally i like to have a scan around the other satellites so if i fitted the unicable LNB and decided to move the dish and watch something on say 13E would the system automatically be able to record/view 8 channels on 13E and then when i move the dish back to 28E go back to 8 channels on 28E. What im trying to say i suppose is whatever satellite it is pointed at at the time is the satellite that all 8 tuners will automatically be configured for????
To Sum up if what i have said above IS correct then to get all that i have mentioned above all i would need to buy is the VU+ 4K and a unicable LNB ???
Also
1) Would i still need a switch or is that only if i want to run a second box???
2) What Unicable LNB do i need for the 8 channels as im finding them very hard to find here in the UK?
