    Hi.

    I will be make same new satellite project.

    And I have question about configuration FBC tuner.

    It will be 3 LNB (3 different satellite).

    2xLNB Legacy witch DiSEqC connected to tuner A.

    and Unicable to tuner B.

    I would like to assign tuners:

    A - 2x lnb 1 and 2x lnb 2

    B - 4x unicable lnb 3

    will it work?

    Thanks.

    I don't think you would have any problem. You can connect up to 4 lnb to each tuner by switches or up to 4 lnb to one tuner and a motorized antenna to other tuner

    If it is the same person as on another forum, getting info from him was like getting blood out of stone. I stopped wasting my time when he refused to answer questions properly.


    His description/question does not make proper sense. Depending on how you interpret his question the most straight forward answer is "no". He is looking at about £700 for multi-position Unicable switches. That price may have come down.


    You configure a tuner based on what is connected to it. He could use universal LNBs on a diseqc switch to one socket/root tuner. Enigma2 allows up to 64 LNBs even on non-FBC tuners. However, you can only use one at a time because of the limitations of a diseqc switch.


    If he then attaches a Unicable LNB to the other socket/root tuner, he can configure 7 tuners to that LNB. Unicable 1 LNBs usually have 4 SCR, so if using one of those, he woudl be limited to 4. The 3 other tuners will be in FBC automatic, i.e internal loop-through.
