Openbox V5S No Signal on All Channels

[pauldub]

Hi, I'd appreciate some advice.

I have two Openbox V5S's. Until today, both boxes have been working perfectly since I got them approx 3 months ago and are fed from a dual LNB. Today, Box 1 all of a sudden started showing 'No Signal!' on every channel. I checked Box 2 and it is still working fine with strong signal intensity and quality, so dish alignment is fine.

I then swapped out both boxes to confirm whether cable to Box 1 got damaged somehow. Box 2 works fine using either cable feed. Box 1 shows 'No Signal!' using either cable feed. I notice too that Box 1 is showing the wrong time, it is out by about -3h. The time used to be fine on both boxes and is ok on Box 2 when plugged in to either cable feed.

Firmware, channel lists, settings etc are up to date on both boxes. I reinstalled firmware and channel list on suspect box without any improvement.

Before concluding that some component inside the box just died, I figured I'd see if anyone has any other ideas. Any help appreciated.

Thanks guys.

When you tried the faulty box on both feeds, did you try it on it's own, without the other box connected to the other feed at the same time?

If so, then it sounds like a faulty tuner. There appears to be quite a lot of posts similar to yours recently. I wonder if there's a faulty batch of tuners fitted to theses boxes?
