Why doesnt vu+ duo2 DUAL tuner allow me to watch one and record second??? HELP

[hardy27]

Hello everyone,

im having some problems with this dual tuner too!. Can some help asap please.
I have a duo2 and have t feeds from the dish, both representing its own signal (not split). But when i record a channel, im unable to view a second channel.

currently both tuners are set to 28.2e simple settings.

why am i not able to watch a second channel with a dual tuner?
(sorry is this has already been answered but need help)

Have you tested both the tuners individually or is your model the one with just a single twin DVB-S2 tuner if it is again test each tuner is working separately first

dual tuner not single tuners

Have you tested both the tuners individually or is your model the one with just a single twin DVB-S2 tuner if it is again test each tuner is working separately first

What image are you on and when you are recording are the other channels greyed out? The ones you cant watch. Are you able to view any whilst recording? Usually greyed out would mean only one tuner working. I have previously had problem with dual tuner with one of the cables inner core not connecting properly and just needed new end on. I don't have duo 2 but vu tuners are the same. hth

As mentioned, check cables/signal, recheck tuner setup on simples, try another image, maybe a backup image

Hello,

I have a Vu+ Duo2 with a DUAL tuner (x1 tuner with 2 LNB inputs), however as soon as i start recording a channel it stops me from viewing a second channel. Why is this?

to be thorough:

1) Both separate cable feeds have good signal strength and quality.
2) sat-finder shows signal strength.
3) tried tuner config and kept both A and B simple on 28.2e
4)Tested both cables with a duo and solo2 and no issues so it cant be the cable run or lnb.
5) using OpenVix

Please Help

what vix version are you using, if you are using vix image over ver 25 change it if i am correct it will correct your problem. if i am correct i will explain later just come back and let me know. but do a backup incase i am wrong but i am pretty sure i am not.

Hello Murphyb007,

There is no issues with recordings on any ViX image for the Vu+ receivers, the OP's issue was with his softcam, the version he was using could not decode multiple channels simultaneously until he updated it to the latest version.

hmm i wonder vu duo on apollo 32 and tuner b not working and no service information showing if on tuner b,both feeds checked working on other boxes.

I'll quote exactly what I just wrote on your other thread *******.

The thread you are referring to was due to the OP using a old version of ********* which in conjunction with the new OE-A core can not decode multiple channels at the same time, it was not a tuner issue nor a image issue, regardless of how much a certain user there tries to convince people it is.


There is no issue in the ViX image effecting recordings for any receiver, only the Gigablue and Technomate receivers are at present having issues with recordings and playabck, both attributed to poor drivers by their manufacturers.

Simply put woodward395 is scaremongering, there are no issues with the ViX image and recordings, barring the two I quoted above which are currently suffering from driver issues and not for the first time either.
