Hi,

I was trying to set up Loop on my Vu Duo so that I could supply satellite to my Skybox F5S, It was set up before were by the original Sky Box loop it through a box in the roof space to other rooms. How can I do this with the Vu Duo, I seen in the transponder set up an option to loopthrough? Can someone please explain this? Thanks

The sat loop out connection is only a physical connection from one box to another through the proper F-connector.
No need for any configuration in tuner setup.
Loop out might work when the box is in standby, to be verified if it works also when the box is completely powered off and/or in deep standby.

Thsnks eragon, the house was set up before with looping, all the cables are there already connected to a splitter in the attic, there is a loop connection on the f5s, and a loop through on the duo, I thought everything was there to carry the signal, what would he missing? Thanks

So you don't have a signal on your F5s? I think tuner config on your F5s should be the same as on your Vu+Duo...
I'll be following this tread, I have the same boxes as you have, but I run one cable to each box directly from the switches. I will be interesting to see if it works through loopthrough...

So do you want to make a connection like this:

cable form splitter
|
IN (Duo)
OUT (Duo)
|
IN (Skybox)

?

Duo has not OUT IF connector but two IN. If you mean Duo2 with single tuner DVB-S2 P&P tuner it's another story and you're right.

Understand, so is there any kind of adapter that will allow this? I.e something to make an OUT on the duo?

You can insert a cheap splitter along the cable before connecting the cable to the Duo:

How would I work it, I mean would it work somehow behind the duo, the cable to the f5 is in conduit in the wall in another room,

are you trying to watch the vu+ in other rooms? if so you will probably need a external modulator as i think the duo has no rf out by the look in the photo unlike the older sky box.

the original sky box never had a sat loop through
