Got a weird issue so seeing if anyone can shed some light on this

2 DM800HD clones

Box1 SSL 72 - SIM 2 (I think) running BH
Box2 SSL 84D - SIM 2.01 running ATV 4.1

I have tested at two houses, mine and my uncles

My House
Uncles

This is 28.2E

Using Box1 at uncles house, get Tuner failed on all channels (even FTA) and SNR shows as 0% - scanning channels only picks up about 100 channels/services - get black screen on channels even FTA

Using Box2 at uncles house, gets all channels SNR shows 99% - scanning channels and get 971 services channels found and no problems watching

Using Box1 at my house, gets all channels SNR shows 99% - scanning channels and get 971 services channels found and no problems watching

Using Box2 at my house, gets all channels SNR shows 99% - scanning channels and get 971 services channels found and no problems watching

So I am baffled as to what problem is, at my house get no problems, but at my uncles house Box1 cant get any channels, yet I can at my house and Box2 both houses no problems.

Anyone any ideas here

Tuner fault ? weak signal ? LNB issue ?

Swapo tuner between boxes and see if the problem jumps to the other box.

I could do, but why does the box say with the dodgy tuner works at my house and not the other house yes the other box works at both houses.

If I swap tuner, does it matter if the image or SSL/SIM are different between the box's.

Could be a longer run of cable old cable power hungry lnb etc all things that may take there toll on a tuner.
 
I think its a tuner issue. I changed mine rwcently and got much better signal afterwards.
As suggested above tru sqitching tuners first
