In Topic: How well is GigaBlue UHD UE 4K Cable supported?

Any VU+ 4K box, except the Zero 4K.

 

No comments about Dreamboxes, nobody here uses them. And the chinese manufacturer is bankrupt, so they aren't made anymore either.

Ja, dat kan zeker het geval zijn.

 

Het kan ook een kwestie zijn van lange kabel en te veel spanningsverlies, er wordt 13V/18V gebruikt om de switch te laten schakelen.

 

Er staat me bij dat er bij de tuner opties iets zit waarmee je in kunt stellen van je DiSEqC commando's kunt herhalen, wellicht dat dat helpt, dan hoef je de ladder niet op.

Correct.

 

So either FBC, or a box with multiple DVB-C tuners, and loop the cable through using T-splitters.

You can do that on any multi tuner box using a unicable LNB. Even the original duo could do that, watch one, record one, using unicable. Lots of second hand boxes around with 3 and 4 tuners.

 

The requirement was "one input".

 

For DVB-C and DVB-S icm Unicable you can indeed do the same with multiple tuners, using a single cable to the box, and using (the correct) splitters to connect every input individually.
 

But if second hand is an option, I'd personally try to get a VU+ FBC box instead of an old quad-tuner box.

 

You can also reduce the requirement by having one single box with lots of tuners (which is what I do, I have it in the attic, directly connected to Unicable switches), have that do all reception (recording and streaming), and use a fallback stream for all other boxes.

would you know of any other way to  have only one DVB-Input and watch one TV channel and in parallel record any 2 other channels? 

 

No. FBC is the only option, and then if DVB-S, ideally in combination with Unicable.

 

But there aren't any chipsets with FBC available now that Broadcom refuses to supply the OEM manufacturers.

 

The others (HiSilicon, AMLogic, STMicroelectronics) only make entry level chipsets, they don't have the number of demuxers to support an FBC tuner.
