    Each FBC satellite tuner module has TWO INPUTS. Either connect both to the inputs on Tuner slot B and disable tuners in Slot C or you need to add two more feeds.

    To get full use of the FBC tuners swap the LNB to a Unicable LNB

    I have the same box and have both cables going into tuner B one on top one on bottom.

    Thanks for help. Got it sorted. But another question, will our existing cabling work with Unicable LNB.

    Yes
    I got 2 of these Unicable II LNB's for my Vu+ Duo 4K box.
    The original 2 cables for old Sky box, now I have each one running into 28.2 sat for FreeSat and other cable running into Hotbird pointed LNB.

    Both tuners can record 4 chans at once I think, not tested, or you could make one tuner record 6 on one 2 on another, that's the benefit of FBC tuners and Unicable II, I believe...may be more on the Ultimo
