Hi all.
I try to run both internal tuners in the DM8000. I use USALS motor. Physical I have acoax cable plugged into the tuner A.
Could someone explain the second tuner settings, where options are:
B tuner equals tuner A, or
B tuner and connect with tuner A,
orit is necessary to stretch a single coax to the second tuner?
Thanks for comments.

Better to have feed for each tuner because using equal to tuner a will limit you to watching channels from same transponder which is never enough.

Ferret is right.

But if you have no other choice but to use only one cable - you need to set Tuner B to "connected with Tuner A" - I had it this way for some time. It´s not satisfying for the reason, Ferret mentioned.

________________

Much better "only one cable" solution, if possible for you (you can fully support up to four tuners by one LNB):

Replace your LNB by Unicable LNB (~ 60 € - 70 € / e.g. Inverto IDLB-QUDL41-UNI2L-0PP / or Dur-Line UK 101, which won test, / or else) - your firmware should not be older than about July/August 2010, though, when Unicable possibilities were extended in dreambox firmware (don´t remember the exact date). Best is to use up to date oe1.6 firmware.

Connect your coax cable only to Tuner A, as before

In menu:
Both tuners: extended configuration
Tuner A has to be set to LNB1 / Unicable LNB / SCR1
Tuner B has to be set to LNB1 / Unicable LNB / SCR2 / Connected with = yes / Tuner A

In case you should later build in additional tuners into your dreambox, you can configure them in menu like Tuner A but choose SCR3 / SCR4 with automatically set corresponding frequencies related to your LNB.
(In case you should buy an exotic Unicable LNB that´s not in the dreambox menu´s list, it is possible for you to select individual configuration and to set frequencies manually - your dealer should tell you correct frequencies for SCR1-SCR4, then.)

Dear All,
I really hope someone could help me about problem of reset of my DB8000 each time I try to use Mediaplayer or I try to change tuner configuration or I lunch a manual search channel in DVB-T or some other function.

It only works stable if I don't use Unicable mode, but I would like to use both DVB-T together and I cannot tend another sat cable.

My configuration is the follow:

DB8000 double tuner DVB-S e double tuner DVB-T, HD 1 tera, DVD DL Sony

Tuner A: BCM4506 (DVB-S1)
Configuration: advanced
Satellite: 01 hot bird 13.0e
LNB: LNB1
Priority: Auto
LOF: Unicable
Ubicable configuration: LNB Unicable
Manufacturer: Inverto
Type: IDLB-qudl41-uni2l-1pp
Channel: SCR 1
Diseqc mode: None

Tuner B: BCM4506 (DVB-S2)
Configuration: advanced
Satellite: 01 hot bird 13.0e
LNB: LNB1
Priority: Auto
LOF: Unicable
Ubicable configuration: LNB Unicable
Manufacturer: Inverto
Type: IDLB-qudl41-uni2l-1ppp
Channel: SCR 2
connected to: tuner A
Diseqc mode: None

Tuner C: Philips TU1216 (DVB-T)
Tuner D: Philips TU1216 (DVB-T)

I tried this:
Demonisat
EDG Nemesis
Oozoone
Noviteam
others ....

with all the same exact problem

Thanks in advance to everyone for any suggestion, or if you think is and hardware conflict or problem....
