Hi all
I have some old clients who decided to go to buy on their own linux receivers and they choose tm800hd (there receivers looks like 1-2 years old, maybe more)
now the receivers are a bit funny, as in:
- fan spinning out of control then stops completely. I had to reboot the box several times until the fan started again.
- hdmi port working on and off. one client connected his box to a hdmi splitter and after a week or so the box stopped any image on hdmi port, all other ports works fine (scart, composite, etc). now that box sometimes starts the image on hdmi out but after gets to Boot100%, the tv says "no signal" on that specific hdmi port. I have tried my VU+UNO on that post and works fine, I have changed hdmi leads, box still does the same
- channel list lost and then regain with simple power off-power on from the back. no apparent reason for all this, but repeated it many times completely random. but is does it even with scanned services
- motor H-H not moving, specifically with TM rotor metal gear (that is what client has and I took it down for testes). STAB seems ok at my house, with same length of cable, or even better cable as in CT125 (the stab rotor is on front of my house, the HH rotor I have checked at the dish in garden, but both receivers, tm800hd and vu+uno worked the stab, only tm800hd didn't moved HH)
I went to Technomate and they said it needed some hardware update, they done it and charged me, after I got the receivers back they still do the same only not as often as before. I called them and they said it must be software image and I need to try various images until I get it all working
as I haven't worked with this before, I don't know what to do next
shall I recommend new receivers to my clients? or shall I keep trying until I get a image working without problems?
many thanks
