[Solved] Zgemma H9 twin decoder - Watching the second channel while recording

I can't cope with the decoder settings to record and watch another channel at the same time.
When switching channels and simultaneously recording another, the message tuning failed and a black screen appear
1) Are the settings of the head one correct? Unfortunately, I cannot indicate my converter from the menu because this brand is not on the list. If wrong, what to correct?
2) Should the settings of the head No. 2 be the same as the first one?
3) Should the antenna cable be connected to any of these connectors with one wire or should it be split into two, and if one, which connector should be screwed into?

Please support me

From the gold converter output, connect the antenna cable to the splitter, from it with short sections to the decoder, to inputs A and B.
If you assigned channel 1-1210 MHz in head A, then in head B assign channel 2 - 1420 MHz.

Restart the decoder - test.

I did as you wrote. I bought a splitter, but still the same. In the settings, I turned off the head A, which worked and set the head b according to the same parameters. The signal meter shows 0.
Any ideas what to do next?

So try in head A:
-for LNB 1 assign Channel 1
-for LNB 2 assign Channel 2

Yes, I have it but it still doesn't work
On the left - head settings A, on the right - B.
No signal from her at all, do you have any more ideas?

Turn on DiseqC.

I turned on for both heads.
1.0

it did not help, it still does not work. Maybe replace the cables in the inputs to the decoder?

You are not like that; you showed the head A and B.
Set ONLY in A:
- in LNB 1 Channel 1 and in LNB2 Channel 2

These are S2X heads (several LNBs in one head)

Hello.
I have the same problem. I set it up exactly like that

Set ONLY in A:
- in LNB 1 Channel 1 and in LNB2 Channel 2

and still cannot watch other channels while recording (with some exceptions of course)
Do you want to change something in LNB Priority?
How exactly should the settings look like, because I hope this decoder offers a unicable function.
Please help.

You can set the channels yourself, as the converter can have different ones.

What converter, what SCR settings, I don't care which frequency.

Besides, how the cable connected to the tuner and how you set the heads, because you do not know what to mean, I set it the same. : /

I have the cable connected to tuner B. - maybe it's a bug? Thought they were identical.

No wonder that it does not work, you have to have every head connected, i.e. you need a splitter or connect two cables to the separating splitter.

Buy a SAT splitter with power pass.

I don't know why you would set 3 SCRs senselessly when you have ONLY 2 heads.


FOR THE TEST:
Connect the tuner A, B and turn off the tuner, you will turn it on when you connect the cable from the splitter to this head.
You always have 1 LNB on each head.

I hope you have definitely connected the cable to the gold plug?

Yes. Certainly a golden plug.

Then connect A, this is the first entrance from the disk side.

I used to have Polsat's Evobox and it worked as it should on this converter. I thought it would work.
I suggested the entry above:

I'm going to twist the cable.
another question? I have one more cable routed to this converter. Will it work if I connect it to the tuner B and to the non-gold plug in the converter?

This is bullshit, the S2X is a normal head, the guy probably doesn't know what the standard is. You will never use this on a Hot Bird because there is simply no transmitting transponder on the S2X.

There are multi-heads FBC tuners, 8 heads, but this is not Zgemma's price class.


It will, only B set it normally because it's a normal converter.
At least you will check and learn how to set up Unicable, it will be useful when you hook up the second tuner.

Thanks for the answer. I should be able to deal with it now. Can there be such a splitter?

You can buy it without any problem. :)

Then just disconnect the second cable, connect the splitter and separate it into two heads. B set the same as A only SCR different.

Does at least unicable or classic legacy work now?

Usually it is best to use splitters with power pass as you do not use DVB-T on the same cable.
Do not follow the advice of others, it is simply that such an installation is better secured thanks to such splitters and always recommended.

Everything works. Thanks again.
