    no data on transponder timeout reading pat

    Hi all,
    i've a dm800 clone with nabilosat 0.11 and everything was ok till yesterday when suddenly the image froze and since then i can't see anything on any channels. Restarting the decoder doesn't help, i still get the "no data on transponder timeout reading pat" error on every channel.
    Is the tuner gone? Is there anything i can try before throwing away the whole thing?
    When i boot it it display 70 on the front lcd, so i guess it refers to the bootloader... is there any newest image i could try?
    thanks in advance for any kind of help.

    Try bsendiing your channel settings again to the box and if that fails then try re-imaging the box.

      What you need to do is check in tuner configuration

      check
      1. it show alps dvb-s2 or says nothing connected
      2. do a scan if it returns 0 channels its faulty tuner

      don't throw it away as a new rev L3 tuner is only ?44.99

        1. Alps BSBE2 (DVB-S2)
        2. Tried to start the automatic scan, and it starts from Turksat and i heard the dish to move and stop, but the dish icon keep blinking on the screen and the scan doesn't actually start...

        I bought the tuner from linuxsat for 32? but i can't see it listed on the website anymore... it lasted 2-3 month only...

        Do you think it's gone? should i try another image first? where can i find one compatible with my bootloader?
        thanks in advance

            Tried to send the settings already and it didn't help.
            I don't know which other image i should try. Last time i tried to change image i bricked it and i had to use the serial cable..

              you need to get this dish pointing at a sat and scan that sat its facing to see if it finds channels, as i know alot of faulty tuners return 0 channels
