We are glad of your message but... there are some basic things to remember when using whatever fortum. One of these is telling the forum if you solved or not your issue, which you donn't explain.

My existing SAT receiving system consists of torroidal-90 antenna, 8 LNBs (8 Satellites) on it, 1 DiSEqC, 1 cable to Duo2 receiver. Will Duo4KSE work with that connections? I have heard that FBC tuners need a bit another tunings. What I will lose using existing antenna and using Duo4K DiSEqC 1.1 protocol?

Of course you can use your system also with Duo4K. Only... you'll underuse your Duo4K, because FBC tuners are able to fully use SCR/Unicable LNBs. This LNBs work as they were multiple tuners (4,8, 16 or 32) even if they use one cable only. And this feature, along with a FBC tuner (that's phisically one but virtually a multiple tuner) , make possible to use only one cable connected to a SCR/Unicable.
This makes possible to watch/record/PiP/Stream multiple channels from a LNB.

The problem is that a normal DiSeQ switch is able to manage only one SCR/Unicable LNB, not more.
To get deeper into this subject, you should search the web for the topics of interest (SCR/Unicable, FBC tuners...).

Has anyone tested this box (Vu+ Duo 4k SE) for the Optus D1 https://www.lyngsat.com/muxes/Optus-D1_NB_12470-H.html multistream with symbol rate 47300.
What's the maximum symbol rate supported by this FBC tuner.
I also have a DM920 and the FBC tuner even though it supports 47300 can lock only few times when the SQ was greater than 11db .
I had to buy a non FBC tuner manufactured by silabs Dreambox 13035 Triple 2x DVB-S2 / 1x DVB-C/T2 Tuner Silver which was able to scan and lock this TP with stable signal as did my Octagon SF8008.

Btw i also have a solo2, Is it possible to change the tuner to a multi-stream tuner?

Hello BH developers,

I'm writing you about two software issues:

1) Would it be possible to make a plugin LCD TV 4 Linux v.5 ARM for this model ?

2) For a long time now, in BH image no video - only audio on the following channels:

ABS - 2/2A @ 75 East:

- 11473 V 22500 3/4 - MIR PREMIUM HD
- 11559 V 22000 5/6 - MIR HD
- 11605 V 43200 7/8 - MIR 24

Thor 5/6/7 @ 0,8 West:

- 12705 V 45000 3/4 - 4K HERITAGE

It will be possible to fix this software bugs?

No idea on the 75e channels as I can not view them from europe.

the 4K Heritage channels works just fine with Duo4K or Zero4K these are the only Vu+ models that support H.264 4K broadcasts.

Duo 4K, like Duo 4K se, support the same video: MPEG-4/H.264, HEVC/H.265, but on Duo 4K se only sound re 4K Heritage channel ...

The official vuplus website doesn't even list the Duo 4K SE, as part of their products, yet, this is probably due to the pandemic, which has caused a major problem, with certain components, and parts.

I'm still not sure what differences there are, between the Duo 4k, and the Duo 4K SE, but you seem to have found one problem.
You could try sending them a bug report:
Code:
http://www.vuplus.com/sub/sub0203.php

Unfortunately this is also out of date, as not only isn't the Duo 4K SE listed, but even the Duo 4K, isn't listed, in the product options.

The vuplus website has always been affected by the pandemic... even in the past years. I'm really sorry to say so, but it's simply INCONCEIVABLE how such a big firm has got such a tragic website and NO REAL SUPPORT's team by email. No other firm in the world is so poor.
I'm really sorry I have to say that but I'm sick and tired of such an amateur approach to business by them.
