Ah well. i thought I had escaped it, but my tuner in my cloned DM800 (2 months old) has now goine kaput !
I always had the "Tuner Failed" messages on the HD channels, but after 2 mins of warming up, it picked them all up no problem.
I had all of my channels either black out of become majorly blocky earlier on today, so a quick reboot of the box sorted it out.
Tonight though, it wouldnt pick up anything, & the channels it could pick up were very blocky (similar to a digi box pic when there is a low signal).
I took my tuner out, booted up box without it, powered back down, then put back tuner.
It picks up a lot more than it did, but is missing several HD channels (Sky1 HD for instance), while CH5 is just a mass of blocks.
Getting Tuner Error messgaes as well as black screens.
I'm not sure if it is due to overheating.
I know many people have complained about the fan being very noisy, but i have never heard mine until today. I heard it start up when I put the tuner back in, very noisy !!!!
That made me think that it may not have been plugged in & functioning correctly from day 1.............
Is there anything else I can try, or do I need to order a new tuner (I think it would be cheaper buying a new tuner than sending back my box....) ?
If so, where is the best place to buy from ?
Thanks all
Chris
