Vu+ Solo2 PiP

[Devrim Coskun]

I am using BH 2.0.0 on my new Vu+ Solo2. PiP does not work for the channels on different transponders. (I am using Tuner B, loop through to Tuner A)

I am using BH 2.0.0 on my new Vu+ Solo2. PiP does not work for the channels on different transponders. (I am using Tuner B, loop through to Tuner A)

If you try with two channels in the same TP or with the same polarization should works.
In your configuration you have a single cable configuration with two tuners.

 

[Devrim Coskun]

Yes, I have single cable, but the tuners are connected internally (loop through). What is the point of having two tuners, i I wouldn't use them independently? To view two channels PiP in the same TP, you do not need two tuners.

 

[Devrim Coskun]

Is this a common problem? Can anybody help?

If you have a Twintunerbox, then it makes sense to each tuner to connect a cable.

 

[Devrim Coskun]

If I want to use the same dishes for the second tuners, why do i have to connect a second cable? What is internal loop through for?

 

[Feedhunter]

If you're connected to Tuner A tuner B, then you can record something with tuner B and simultaneously look at Tuner A something that is on the same transponder, or the same level.

That´s the intention of loop through.

 

[Devrim Coskun]

OK. how can i achieve this with one cable? Is it possible to use a 1x2 Disecq switch?

 

[Feedhunter]

No, you can not do much. If you have only one cable available, then put this in tuner B.

Then you put in tuner A "connected to tuner B".

 

[Devrim Coskun]

What is the difference between connecting the cable to tuner A and loop through to tuner B and connecting the cable to tuner B and loop through to tuner A?

 

[darian23]

using tuner B as a primary is recommended by manufacturer (vu). If you'll use tuner A as primary you may get problems to view other channels, but I have not tested it

 

[Devrim Coskun]

Ok. I will make Tuner B as primary and make Tuner A loop through to Tuner A.

 

[Devrim Coskun]

I will try with a 1x2 disecq switch to multiplex the single cable to both tuners.

 

[darian23]

what? It won't work
you can break your stb

Thank you in advance.

It is possible that the difference is in the electronic circuit
the connection seems to be possible only from one side,
in one direction.Of course this is just one of the possibilities.
We do not know the real reason.

Thank you in advance.

You wanted to use diseqC switch which is something different than unicable LNB.
You want instant access to one LNB using one cable and two tuners.
DiseqC switch will not give you these possibilities.

 

[Matrix10]

With DiSEqC you can not drive a car at the same time in two streets.

 

[Devrim Coskun]

I understand.

"You want instant access to one LNB using one cable and two tuners. " That's what exactly i want to have.
So again, how?

 

[darian23]

unicable switch + unicable/quattro lnb (depends from the switch). Google it and you can find where to buy these things.
Let us know when you will get it sorted, it will be good to know if it works.
Thanks
