DM800 Replacement Tuner

[dazmaul]

Hello all, I am back again with Tuner problems - shock!

Does anyone know where I can buy a new ALPS BSBE2 (DVB-S2) Tuner?

My DM800 has started playing up again. When I select any of the Sky HD channels the signal rate goes to 0% and the box stops working. If I select a normal channel and then restart the box it comes back on OK working with "normal" channels.

I have tried rescanning the satellite but as soon as it attempts to scan a DVB-S2 transponder it dies again. It was working fine until recently.

Has anyone had similar problems, knows a fix or anything?

not 100% if you can change the tuner in a clone lol
not unless you open it up and check the tuner first
if it is replacable
unless someone else can confirm this either way :)

I have had issues with Disc HD only but never freezes the box. You can change the tuner in the 800 np. You can grab one on ebay.de is where I spotted one

How do I know if it's replaceable?

[cauliflower69]

because its plug and play

[dazmaul]

If that's the case could the above issues be explained by the tuner being loose/not being correctly inserted?

[cauliflower69]

not as far as i know

[westkill]

this what a plug n play tuner looks like
if you look at the top you will see the plugin bit
or it would be soldered

Does anybody know where the best, cheapest place is to get a dreambox 800 hd. I understand these do not come with dvb-s2 tuners as standard so where is the best, cheap place to get these also

Thanks.

For rev J you need L3 tuner

[tab99_uk]

For rev J you need L3 tuner

i emailed uk dreambox shop he said i will need the old type l3 tuer said he will have them in 2 weeks time

is thier anyone else that sell the L3 tuners

hi
I read on this forum that someone has tried the rev m on the Rev J board with success....

I would get that one m8

[bubbles69]

Its hit and miss in REV J hence why people will only sell to rev L mainboards, you will prob find 1 in 15 new version M tuner 801a will work

I did get one working in rev J but when i switched the box on and off i did not work anymore
