tuner setting

    Hello. The box comes with three different RG6 satellite cables: 1 for the DİSECQ motor, 2 for the motor-armed dish, and 3 for the fixed satellite. I have a device with an FBC tuner. How do I adjust the tuner settings?

    To be correct, tuner configuration must match the hardware.


    Your description of dishes/cabling is not clear enough for a proper response barring the motorised dish. And receiver does not come with cables, those are from your dishes/lnbs. Can you please draw a sketch/diagram.


    Unless you have unicable LNB/switch, tuner configuration is exactly the same as a non-fbc tuner.

    Three independent RG6 cables come into my room. There are two independent motorized dishes and one fixed dish on the roof. My device is a Vu Dou 4K SE with four tuners installed.

    I am understanding that you have 2 tuner cards, i.e 4 connection points. 16 tuners in total.


    I don't know which dish is in which tuner, so apply to the tuners you have used. I would have hooked up fixed dish to Tuner A. I would not have hooked up anything to Tuner B. Motorised dishes hooked up to Tuner I and also Tuner J.


    For fixed dish.

    Simple, single, whatever the orbital position that dish is pointing to.


    For the tuners with motorised dishes ( I am assuming the dishes have been aligned to use USALS)

    Simple, positioned, add your co-ordinates.


    The connection/tuner with no signal wire, set as FBC Automatic (This means internal loop-through when required. Nothing to do with Automatic).

    So, three RG6 cables come down from the roof to my room. There's a diseqc motor connected to a 120cm dish on the roof, and a lever-mount motor mounted on a 170cm dish. There's also a fixed dish. I've completed the dish installation. I still have some adjustments left on the device, but I tried a bit, but I was unsuccessful.

    Draw a picture/sketch/diagram if you want to avoid people assuming things. Also post screenshots of what you have currently set for each tuner.


    If the lever mount dish does not use USALS, you have to use advanced, Diseqc 1.2 and for each orbital position, tell it what position you have set your dish.


    The FBC tuners are set exactly like a non-FBC tuner if you are not using Unicable LNB. Start off with the fixed dish, then the USALS motor.
