Does TVH support Unicable/Jess positions?

Added by Pim Zandbergen over 6 years ago

I just got myself a Digital Devices MAX S8 SAT>IP tuner with two Inverto IDLU-32UL40-UNBOO-OPP LNB's.
The LNB's were pre-programmed by Digital Devices to positions A and B so they could be connected in parallel to one Unicable/Jess receiver using a Unicable combiner.
See https://www.digital-devices.eu/shop/de/unicable/multischalter-lnbs/295/unicable-ii-set-2-satelliten-unicable-lnb?c=220
I also got myself a power inserter to power the LNB's.

For starters, I just connected one LNB (programmed to position A) without using the combiner, or a power inserter.

When connecting e DD tuner, it comes up in TVH like a device supporting 4 diseqc positions.
I reduced the number of positions to two, so they show up as AA and AB.
Does that translate to Unicable/Jess positions A and B?

I'm not getting any signal right now.

As can be seen on the screenshots, I have other equipment to test with.
I also have two Telestar Digibit R1 tuners, running minisatip, with Dur-Line UK 124 LNB's.
The Dur-Line LNB's are not programmable, so can not be combined on a single tuner.

Here are some test results:

The MAX S8 would not work with a Dur-Line (I did adjust the Unicable frequencies).
The Telestar does work with a single Dur-Line on the same position (Astra 2).
The Telestar does work with a single Inverto LNB (after adjusting Unicable frequencies).
And, the Telestar does work with two Inverto LNB's using combiner and power inserter!

So, it appears TVH does support Unicable/Jess positions, and it appears something is wrong with the DD Max S8.

OK everything works now.
Apparently, Unicable LNB's need to be connected to port "D" on the Max S8.
