[QUOTE="Archive7, post: 970668"] Thanks Tururu for your detailed reply. The problem with unicable is that it is good only for one satellite and will not work with DiseqC I will not use 8 tuners for just one satellite and would therefore use 4 FBC tuners for Astra 1M 19.2E and 4 FBC tuners for Hotbird 13E. I found a relatively cheap unicable LNB with 2 legacy outputs costs only 44 euro each Inverto IDLB-QUDL42-UNI2L-1PP which comes with one splitter So my new setup would look like this: 1 - Get rid of the quattro LNB and replace it with the inverto LNB. Connect one cable to the unicable output. This leaves me with 4 spare cables. 2 - Get rid of the single standard LNB pointing to Astra 19.2E and replace it with the inverto LNB. Connect one cable to the unicable output. This leaves me with 3 spare cables. 3 - Connect one cable to the legacy ouput on the Astra unicable LNB This leaves me with 2 spare cables. 4 - Connect one cable to the legacy ouput on the Hotbird unicable LNB This leaves me with 1 spare cable. 5 - This last cable is connected to the DiseqC switch. Keep the Amos 4W, Nilesat 7W, Eurobird 9E LNB's and connect the cable that was connected before to the standard LNB pointing to Astra 1M to the new Astra Unicable LNB second legacy output. I still have one unused legacy output on the Hotbird 13E unicable LNB, which I can seal with a 75 ohm termination. In the living room I have now 5 cables: 6 - Connect the Astra unicable cable to tuner A of VU+ Solo 4K and configure all possible four FBC tuners. 7 - Connect the Hotbird unicable cable to tuner B of VU+ Solo 4K and configure all possible four FBC tuners If I buy a dual tuner card module and install it in the VU+ Solo 4K, then I can use Tuner A on the module to connect to the DiseqC cable and connect the standard Hotbird cable to tuner B (just like my setup now) or don't buy this module (not cheap costs 90 Euro) and keep the cables connected to my existing VU+ SOLO SE V2. I still have one spare standard cable for Astra 1M 19.2E. I am sure I can find a use for it in the future. The multiswiches mentioned in your post is not cheap at all and I will not need to use it, unless I am missing something here. Total cost for the upgrade is only 44x2=88 euro plus shipment + installation cost by a pro, if I can find one plus 500 Euro + shipment and taxes for the VU+ SOLO 4K. [/QUOTE]
