I think i have killed my TM600 but i have no idea how. It was working fine, i turned it off at the mains and then when i powered it back up it was showing no signal. I have tried a factory reset and then rescanning the channels and i get a message saying "All known transponders have been tried, but no lock was possible"
I have reflashed it with some images including Original TM600 image, URTeam, Gemini, ITgate, and a few other, i have also tried multipul versions of each.
On most images including the original TM software all i get is the splash screen and every 30 seconds or so the screen goes black for a second then back to the splash screen again.
The only image that will fully boot the box is the gemini image, but when i use it i cannot find any channels.
I have also tried making a full backup of a working TM600 from the web interface after booting with the ^ button held in, then restoring the 'broken' box with it, but then it loads up the channel lists and bouquets but when i tune to a channel it says no signal.
This box is only 2 weeks old, i bought 4 from an ebay seller, 3 are fine and this one was fine for about a week.
Is the tuner in the box dead or is there somthing i can do to recover it. If it is dead is it possible to replace the tuner or would i be better off buying a new box. I am slightly wary of buying a new one not knowing how this one died at only 1 week old.
Has anyone used Technomates warranty service, and if so, is it any good.
Thanks for your help.
