FBC OpenATV OpenWebIf Issue

    Hi All,


    Hopefully someone can help as I'm kind of stuck on what I think is an FBC issue (or FBC setup issue) rather than software.


    I recently bought a Gigablue UHB Quad 4K Pro which was connected to a sky hybrid LNB on Tuner A whilst getting it all set up which whilst it was connected this way I could stream throug Openwebif or the gigablue iPhone app and all was good.


    To cut a very long story short I currently have a standard LNB connected to Tuner B and a new FBC tuner connected to Tuner A.


    If I try and stream something on a channel through Tuner B through a browser or Gigablue App or Kodi it all works fine, Anything on Tuner A though and the stream shows nothing but the TV connected to the box becomes a stuttery mess... looking at the signal on satellite finder the signal bars keep cutting gin and out to 0%. Kill the (none existent stream) and change channel to something else and back and the signal remains solid.


    Im using OpenATV 7.5.1 but I've just tried OpenATV 7.4 and Teamblue 7.5 in different slots and have the same issue


    I did initially think this was an OpenWebif issue but the fact it only seems to be an issue with the FBC LNB I'm wondering if im likely to be missing anything configuration wise? When I initially set this up tuners C on were set to Auto but it wouldn't allow me to record multiple channels (Forget the exact message but was something relating to a recording clash). I changed C onwards from Auto to FBC and using LNB 1 which seems to have fixed that but wondering if I've missed anything like this for streaming?

    You have me a bit bamboozled. The QUAD pro comes with a dual FBC tuner ie tuner A and Tuner B. Now these boxes work best with a unicable LNB but you have a sky hybtid lnb and that has 2 outputs for wideband and 4 for standard ie universal. So for you quad you cant use the wideband outputs.


    When you connect 2 cables from the hybrid lnb and configure them as simple, single satellite send diseqc no, then the box software will assign the extra ie leaf tuners automatically. I use openvix image as it works.


    So you have to explain what this means " standard LNB connected to Tuner B and a new FBC tuner connected to Tuner A." That makes no sense to me.


    When you check the tuner setup with my method you will see tuners A, B, then C TO H will say automatic and these will come into play when you want to record but may be restricted to transponders. I just tried now with a UNO4KSE and can record 14 at same time, I gave up at 17, this is BBC1, 2, ITV,1, 2,3,4, 4SEVEN S4CHD ITVBE HD 5 STARM CH4 C5.


    Say a bit more and why did you buy that box?


    PS NB are you using more than one dish?

    Sorry if extra details have confused.


    The sky hybrid lnb is now sat in a cupboard doing nothing. I only mentioned that as streaming was working using that (the legacy ports not wideband)


    Pointing at 28.2 is one of these (https://store.gigablue.de/sat-…-2-legacy-uhd-4k-lnb.html) which is configured as FBC.


    Pointing at 19.2 is a standard LNB.


    It’s one dish but with two LNB’s on a bracket… to be clear they both work fine and get the relevant channels it’s just streaming when using the FBC lnb that’s an issue but sounds more like a config issue my end even though it’s playing and recording ok on tv

    There is no such thing as FBC LNB.


    Can you please explain the LNBs again. You have one pointing to 28.2. how many outlets does it have? Do the wire/s go straight to the FBC tuner or through a diseqc switch?


    You have another one pointing at 19.2. how many outlets does it have. Do the wire/s go straight to the FBC tuner or through a diseqc switch?


    If you can draw a rough sketch.

    After you describe the wiring, please also describe the tuner configuration for every tuner. They must match each other.


    The tuner with the Unicable LNB must be set as Unicable. If the other tuner has a direct wire from 19.2 with no switches, that tuner must be set as simple, single, 19.2.

    I think I've possibly sorted it....


    Tuner A is set as unicable with 28.2 and the manufacturer and model of the LNB That has a single coax straight to the Unicable LNB

    Tuner B is set as simple 19.2 and single coax straight to the plane old standard LNB

    Tuners C to H....

    for some reason if I leave as FBC Automatic they dont seem to do anything... multiple recordings at same time on channels on 28.2 result in an message about a conflict in recording... so I'd changed them to FBC SCR, 28.2 and the rest of the details seem to populate from Tuner A as the manufacturer details are all there.


    However what I hadn't done is chance the Channel so they were all set to SCR 1.... I've since read elsewhere that these need to be differentt... changing them just to SCR 2, and SCR 3 etc seems to have fixed my issues

    Good to hear. Yes, every tuner connected to the Unicable LNB must use its own SCR channel.


    FBC Automatic = Internal loop through when required. Id recommend making Tuner H FBC Automatic so that gives you internal loop for your 19.2 LNB. You will be limited to the same quadrant/plane that the universal LNB is on, but you can use two transponders instead of the one you are limited to at the moment. You will still have six tuners for 28.2.
