whats the sign of a tuner failing in dm500s

[chavslav]

signal jumping from 24%to 90% to 57% am on hotbird, both connections seem fine, is it possibly the tuner?? if so how much and how hard to do?? its a clone!

thanks in advance..

it may not be the actual tuner itself,it quite possibly be the tuner transistor that is situated behind the tuner,i had a similar problem,purchased the transistor from fleebay changed and everything was fine,if you search this forum im sure you will find how to locate and solve this..

dish moving there has been bad weather of late
knackered lnb could be anything
try the box on someone else dish if its still bad then its probably the box
if its fine then ya no its yer dish lnb or connections

dish alignment right on the edge , hence the jumping moved it about 2 mm, cobnnection stabilised and then locked, thanks for answers people..
