    Tuner locking problem

    Help !!!!

    Dm800hd was working fine until I installed a 250 GB HD turned back on and it wouldn't tune to any channels.

    So I tried a retune and it came back with 0 channels.
    Downloaded and installed a new satellite xml file, still nothing.
    Checked in satfinder and it was reading :

    under manual transponder
    SNR 0
    AGC 0
    BER 0
    lock unticked

    If I move it to predefined transponder it shows

    SNR 100
    AGC 96
    BER 0
    lock ticked

    here's where it goes really weird
    I go back to manual transponder and it shows
    SNR 93
    AGC 96
    BER 0
    lock ticked

    Try an auto scan and nothing comes back. If I exit satfinder and then go back in everything is 0% again.

    I'm pretty much a newbie so would appreciate any help anyone can offer.

    it could be a dry joint on the main board, i hav a dm800 box that if i press dwn on the tuner it work, what seems to happen with some of these boxes, is if u turn them off and they cool down, it can cause a solder joint to come loose or crack, u could try using a hot air gun or a very hot hair dryer, small bits at a time, or it could even be the tuner faulty, they only way to no is to try in a different box
