i currently have a envision box and it seems to have a faulty tuner the problem i have is the motor stops moving and the signal drops agc signal drops to 0%.

i have read else where on this forum that the black box is identical to the normal 500s clone any one know if this is true and all they have done is just paint it black lol


are the tuners better ? according to BuyingThings.co.uk - The Online Store (http://www.buyingthings.co.uk/shop/?a_aid=52d01a63&a_bid=86e07af0) the blackbox tuner is superior to the 500s clone model, anyone have experience of buying these and do they work well tuner wise?

thanks

They're the same thing mate, only the casing is different. And all the new boards inside each box whether its the 500C or BlackBox is the same, only the older ones had different tuners. So neither of these will let you down.

Loads of guides in the forum especially on the cable section. Why don't you have read and than ask question about the stuff you do not understand.

thanks for the replies

kal surely i should go for the cheaper 500s option which is currently 50 pounds instead of paying 65 pounds for the black box if it is identical

i know inside the envision box it is an alps tuner would u know if they are the same in the db or blackbox clones?

cheers
