I've got a Sky+ box that has had an unfortunate incident with some lighting this afternoon. It appears to have damaged tuner input 1 (the main tuner) but tuner 2 is working fine and picks up a signal whereas tuner 1 doesn't.

It's an Amstrad box and the tuners appear to be inside two small metal covers under the fan.


I would take it apart myself and swap the tuners over but I don't particularly want to in case I statically damage it not having any anti static protection and I'm not 100% certain it is that because I don't have an oscilloscope so does anyone know of anywhere or anyone that can do it cheap? Anywhere in between Mid Wales and Bristol would be superb.


Thanks
 
it'll be cheaper to get another box from ebay
 
Argh bugger. I know its about £20 for the tuner. I'd do it myself but the only safe facility I have to do it is at work but I'm kind of working :p

Is it possible to move the hard drive to another box or is it digitally locked to that particular box?
