Rework on Tuner for DM800 and 800se

[bochap2012]

230 can watch video but no sound. It a bug of E2 on Dreambox 800 series. I dont hv the patch but there was 1 done by DvbChampion who got Banned.
Try a new e2 box call Gzemma H1, it hv all chn viewable and better than DM800, 800se if not as good.
buy the clone versions will do.

Am already using DVBC patch , all channels okay except 230. well... it is good enuff. Thanks for the advice.

Ya, but i help another friend got his 800se updated to dvbC patch, his channel 226,227,228 cannot see, will this solution help to solve his problem?

[jatrophaseed]

Yes, it lots of handy work, but no need any knowhow. Done quite many tuners and they worked ok.

May not be tuner issue. Poor cable signal also can cause those channels unwatchable unless u have tried both boxes on the same cable point. I need to use a signal amplifier on my living room with fine tune to the frequency whereas I don't need it on my bedroom for my set box.

Yes Master .. am trying to swap box to test before operation of the tuner.. many thanks for the advise.

Thank you masters ypvs125 and jatrophaseed,

Indeed it is the tuner issue, and after applying Master Jatrophaseed Tuner patch, all is well now.
Thank you all so much.

Hi Sifu Jseed

I've the exact same issue (all HD/SD channels OK quality 93%+ but ch 226,227,etc un-watchable 0%-70% quality BER 200-3000), and another Sifu point me to this thread.

Frankly I'm surprised, and am going to try your solutions this weekend, after removing splitter, cleaning contacts with no improvement.

I'd like to understand what causes this. Is this old age? My DM800se is only 2 yrs old, cannot be right? Or tuner is inherently weak at 135MHz? Cannot be cos Philips datasheet says it goes from 50MHz to 866MHz.. Why is 135MHz so special?

Do a swap of tuner if u got more than one box... DM tuners are coil tuners and can't lock in the .5...

I am able to watch 226 and 227 channels without any patch. Hence, I thought my tuner is ok. I am unable to watch some other channels. It says 'TUNE FAIL'.

What can i do to resolve this issue.

Tuner spectrum is 'out tuned', very very hard to tune back without a sweep osc-scope and a frequency generator. Cheaper to change a tuner.
