Ive had a dm800 now for over a year..
It originally came with a L3 tuner... and i did post on another topic here about fixing some of the glitching (or at least increasing the signal strength) from 55% SNR to around the 80's by changing the L3's capacitor to a larger better made cap from maplins.
SO.. after doing the cooling, and Telnetting tone amplitude, I still had problems...
So then the answer to my prayer came along and I bought a REV M tuner off fleebay and stuck it in.... NOW, i get 85-90% SNR on most channels... BUT THE FUKN THING STILL FREEZES...
It was then it hit me. My daughter (only 4 --- ahhhh everyone) wakes up at 6-7am on a saturday, and thats daddys time to get up with her (the enemy does sundays)...
Over the period of a month or so, We'd get up have breakfast, watch sky 1 HD - shes a sucker for braniac and oops TV... and you know what NO GLITCHING...
so im sitting on the Ipad, I have the speed test app up.. I also CC to a chap in Germania.. im hitting 1245kbs (on a 10mb connection to Vmedia).. so im hitting good numbers...
about 9.30 the other girls get up and its blackberrys at breakfast and my soccer AM is cracking up... another speed test and im on about 100kbs...
I think all these problems are internet connection based... I get BBCHD and the other freeview HD's all good... as soon as were watching a CCAM induced channel and the internet is slow... boom... loss of chanels...
Can any one else confirm this, or am I barking up the wrong tree?
and dont get me started on sunday nights when the whole of the UK is online... i get hardly anything... even on non hd channels it breaks up...
