Further to my comment in post #10 you can use either type of wideband LNB with an Inverto Unicable multiswitch. It just needs to be reprogrammed if you have a Freesat 4K or Sky Q receiver.

There are several German sellers on eBay that sell the Vu+ Duo 4K SE receiver with various tuners and remote control options(either IR or BT). However if you live in the UK be expected to pay Custom Fees charges on arrival. I bought two in recent months. Had to pay £100 and £78 in Customs Fees...

Plug in an external USB drive to your receiver's USB port and copy from drive to drive. Change to a SSD and copy back from the external drive to the internal drive.

It is an Inverto Unicable multiswitch programmed for use with a quattro. And the 17/16 multi switch is a Megasat. Don't think I need to use external power supplies on either of them. The whole thing is probably overkill. I was planning on having a multi satellite dish using the 17/16 switch but...

As title says. Would there be any issues doing this? Quattro LNB to unicable multi switch cascading to a 17/16 multi switch?

Or they can use a unicable multiswitch that is compatible with a quattro lnb such as the Inverto Unicable multiswitch.

If you use a wideband lnb just be aware that there are 2 different kinds. Lo 10.4 and 10.41. Sky Q/4k Freesat only works with 10.41 wideband LNBs or with a quattro you need to use a multiswitch I think this is correct.

I only know this because I just installed this receiver and discovered the other tuners only work with unicable. I had to buy a new dish and unicable lnb off eBay.

I have this receiver. It has 2 tuner slots. You can have 2 dvb-s2x cards or 1 dvb-s2x card and 1 dvb-t2 card or 1 dvb-c card or 2 dvb-t2 cards or 2 dvb-c cards. It does have ci slot and cam slots.

What I said in post 30 isn't true so please ignore. You need an unicable LNB or multiswitch when using a wideband or quartto LNB for FBC.

You don't need a unicable LNB to take advantage of FBC. It is true that without a unicable LNB you are limited but even with a universal LNB You can record channels from up to 4 different transponders as long as they are all the same band and polarity on one wired input. I believe this is...

What with the possible switch off of Freeview in a few years is there any point in spending money on an installer installing a TV aerial?

Is it recommended?

I don't like the TV licence fee but I rather it was kept rather than the alternatives being suggested. At least at the moment it is voluntary(in that if you don't watch live TV you don't have to pay it). If it became a charge on broadband or council tax it then becomes compulsory and everyone...

Thanks for that. If people want BBC in HD they need to go Freesat and install a satellite dish it looks like. If I was in charge I would start the closedown of Freeview services and give viewers a 5 year notice of shutdown. 5 years should be plenty of time to switch over to satellite until it is...
