To be fair, that is the only one I could find. I haven't downloaded it because the latest user reviewed
it and said it simply doesn't work anymore. That was dated in 2020...lol.

I may just have to get another lnb with at least one legacy port alongside the unicable port.
That way my cheapo signal meter can find 1W using the legacy as a guide to get the signal.

Or I can try and go directly to the Signal Meter guys website.

That sat meter you have is crap, doesn't give true readings.

I have yes, and its working fine with any box in my signature. Just make sure the frequencies used are different across the boxes.
Hey @Ferret and @cokeaddict,

I have been reading elsewhere that if the unicable setting is chosen on a receiver and that receiver has multiple
satellite connections via a diseqc switch, then the receiver will have problems recognising each diseqc based satellite.
In some cases it may not see the satellite connection as enabling unicable from the receiver disables diseqc
functionality.

Have you heard of this or encountered any issues with unicable and diseqc?

Thanks.

Viark's and the like don't like diseqc switches with unicable.

Shouldn't be so much of an issue with an enigma2 box, that said however i've not actually tried using Unicable via a diseqc switch with an E2 box.

Thank you for the information @cokeaddict .

So there is something to what I have read regarding problems getting diseqc to work with Unicable.

However, the issue may be receiver specific, rather than affecting all receivers regardless of closed source or Enigma2.
