vu+solo2,vu+duo2 dual recording
- Thread starter ALIEN1X
- Start date
Both the Solo 2, and the Duo2, have twin satellite tuners, the Duo 2 can add a DVB-S2 card, with two additional tuners, providing 4 satellite tuners, in total.
Either way you will need to add a twin, 2 outputs, or a quad, 4 outputs, LNB, and run the cabling, to get it to work correctly.
You can record two channels, at the same time, providing that they are using the same transponder.

Ah,So they both can record 2 channels at the same time as long as I'm on the same transponder like both both channels at 28e or 19e etc
So if I go for VU+ SOLO 2 there would be no need for 2 LNB and cables as the connections on the back have sat in and sat out/loop out, so can just use one LNB and cable as normal?

Solo2 has TWO INPUTS and not 1 input and 1 output.
Have you read the thread http://www.vuplus-community.net/board/threads/general-informations.25760/ ?
The simplest solution, and cheapest, is to fit a twin output LNB, and run a second cable, or a quad LNB, 4 outputs, and run 4 cables.
This is the only true method of using a twin tuner receiver, like the Solo 2, Duo 2, etc...
You can find the various specifications, of the VU+ models, on the vuplus website:
You could go for the 4K, and a unicable LNB system.

Ok, the thread is closed for further replies, but you can read it, right?
So, if you can read it, the answer is there and don't forget the board rules, because it's not allowed any kind of discussion about illegal stuff.

I can not access the link as it says closed meaning a cannot see or read anything on there?
I need to find out as much as I can before I buy a receiver?
One thing really want to avoid is running a second cable into the house and drilling more holes.
That's why I thought it may have loop out or something of that nature. That's why I also asked about solo se v2 which is 1 twin tuner abd only has one input and a loop out too.
Not sure what the pros and cons are between solo2 and solo se v2?

The lnk is acessible for public view ( just for information ), i've tested with logout and it's visisble even if i'm not a member of this community.
You can use a disecq comutator. ( 2-1); (4-!); (8-1) ... This means 2 cables to Lnb, only 1 to STB, .... This means 8 cables to Lnb, only 1 to STB.
best take a look to this table ... Vuplus Original specifications STB --> http://vuplus.com/sub/sub0105.php

You don't need a Diseqc switch, these are used to combine two, or more, LNB's, into one cable, allowing you to switch between satellites, e.g. 19.2E, 13E, 28.2E, etc.......
You might be able to run shotgun cable, two cables joined together, through your current hole, allowing you to use both tuners.
Even Sky UK receivers use quad LNB's, 4 outputs, and have to run two cables, to get everything working.
Try googling the VU+ Solo 4K and how the unicable LNB works, this might solve your problem.

As mentioned I can't run any more cables,my existing cable runs discreetly with in a blue water pipe sheeth under the garden lawn and my dish is on a pole mounted on the ground along side plants /bushes so it s nice iintergrated into the garden then having ugly mounted on walls.
What I'm confused about is why are many suppliers selling saterlight spliters including B and Q and on forums some people say it can damage your reciver and LNB?
Why do boxes have loop out and what are the issues with that option?
I need to look in all these issue before buying a VU+
There is also the VU+ SOLO SE V2 which has twin tuner and one input?

Unfortunately, this is how receivers work. At least outside is not a tragedy to change something. Otherwise, you cannot fully take advantage of ANY double tuners' receiver.
Many people have wires underground, in pipes, which doesn't stop you running extra cable, much like wiring a house, you pull the cable through, using draw strings, which should be run during installation, to allow upgrades.
Providing the Blue Water Pipe is big enough just pull the existing cable through, with draw strings attached, so they go through, then run as many cables as you need, or can fit.
The only true receiver, that can do what you want, using one cable, is probably the VU+ Solo 4K, which is designed to use a unicable system, but more 4K receivers are being developed, and released, which might suit your needs.
I have an ultimo with 4 tuners, 2 of them receiving signals from Astra 2. I programmed it to record two programmes both on Astra 2, but on different transponders, the programme times overlapping. The first programme started recording OK, and so did the second, but about 30 seconds later, the first programme stopped recording. This has happened more than once. Can anyone suggest what is wrong?

As it's specified also in this thread, it is not only a matter of how many tuners do you have but it's more important the way you configure them in your image. And this depends on the satellite equipment (LNBs normal of SCR unicable, switches, and so on).
Usually, the best way is to configure the tuner A the way it has to be and then tuner B set as "EQUAL TO"->Tuner A.
But, as I said, this cannot be taken as a general truth but it depends on your system.
