I have this exact issue suddenly after many months of it working fine! I assume that the capacitor fix will sort things out, but what capacitor is it that im after exactly? 16v/1000uf ? Does the brand matter, or can i just pick one up from maplin?? (found this one - product no. VH50E)?
I dont mind soldering, as i have done many mod chips, but would be nice to know what im soldering where. Got the following pics from my retailer who says this capacitor fix will solve the issue... Can anyone confirm this is correct?
Pic a
Pic b
Now this may sound retarded, but do you have to solder the capacitor a certain way round, i.e. is one connection +'ve and the other -'ve ??
Lastly before i try the capacitor fix, i would like to try the telnet command! Now mine is currently running at 00000007.... Now from what I ghather, to change this figure from 00000007 to say 00000002 I would enter "echo 2 > /proc/stb/frontend/0/tone_amplitude"... Correct? Also what is the result of changing it to a higher/lower figure? Just nice to know exactly what im doing here
Which 'Echo' setting are you guys currently using for the best results?Thanks

Ok, so the Telnet fix didnt help much!
Next i will go for the capacitor fix as it's cheapest! If that still doesnt work, then a line amp will hopefully sort things out.
Before i solder on the capacitor, can anyone tell me if the capacitor goes a certain way round, i.e. is one connection +'ve and the other -'ve ??

If you look at pic B you can see the - on the left in the gold strip and the maplins has one too.

Tried capacitor fix, telnet commands & also have an inline amp.
All still with the same result.................it doesnt work
Is your dish aligned properly? When my HD channels started going glitchy, i offset my lnb a little bit, and all worked well! Now no matter how well i alligned the lnb/dish is, i still get glitches!

Try the box on another dish maybe a m8's to rule out your dish and lnb
also try the tuner in another box and dish see if you get the same result
try contacting the seller and say its faulty or buy another tuner.

Lol... so it was your dish! When i asked you about it, you sounded adiment that it wasn't ! Glad its all working now though... i'm still waiting on my capacitors to arrive - hopefully that will solve my issue - I have a rev: J Tuner, but this fix should still apply right?????

hi pootas, just following your guide on how to telnet, i've change my echo command, how do i now save it boot at start up? is it a case of sending a telnet message or is it an ftp job?
cheers
