How to configure my FCB Tuners on VU+ Ultimo 4K ?

Hi,
I recently bought a VU+ Ultimo 4K and a IDLU-32UL40-UNBOO-OPP inverto unicable LNB.
I'm facing some problems to make the quad PIP feature works correctly.
I have tried both latest versions of BH and OBH and I have the same behaviour.
The simultaneous recording of 4 different channel works correctly, but the quad PIP doesn't work correctly.
Some times only 1 channel appear, sometimes 2, sometimes 3...
So I'm suspecting a problem of FCB tuners configuration.
I have a motorized dish with a unique unicable LNB (of course I'm talking about 4 channels on the same satellite). I have 2 tuners inside the VU+ : 1x DVB-S2 FBC Twin tuner and 1x DVB-C/T2 Tuner
Here is the configuration I use. Can someone please tell me if there is an error somewhere ? Also how should I configure Tuners B (loop or equal to tuner A)
, F, G and H ?
Thanks.

I finally found a solution :)
I think that the problem was coming from the fact that I have activated DiseqC in all 4 active tuners...
So when I activate quad PIP each channel try to send DiseqC commands which probably caused conflicts.
So I tried to configure Tuner A with DiseqC and Tuners C,D and E without DiseqC.
Furthermore I gave Tuner A the highest priority. So I can change satellite when only one tuner is used (which will be tunerA since it has the highest priority). Of course when several tuners are in use the change of satellite will not be possible.
Here is the configuration that works with Quad PIP :

Arrrgghhhh... spoke too fast...
Still problems when changing satellite...
I have read that it was not recommanded to use FBC tuners with motorized dish but I had a hope to arrive to make it work.
Does anyone succedeed to make it work correctly ?

All the SAT Tuners in your setup must have the same satellites configured.

If you have in Tuner A enabled 13E 19.2E 28.2E (for example) you must enable the same also in tuner C, D and E.
SCR settings are correct and also the DisecQ 1.2 setup must be setted up only on Tuner A to avoid conflcts.
In my setup I've setted up priority also for C, D and E tuners managing it directly with a lower priority respect main Tuner A.

This setup was used by myself when test FCC feature and works regularly.
I think QuadPIP has similar needs.
