Put a bouquet list on it like Catseyes and that should sort it.

That's the M 401a not as good as the M801a tuner.
Did you try catseyes bouquets.
Put them on with dreambox edit.
Theres a guide on here if you search.

Try the other tuner from the other box.
What sort of snr are you getting on your channels.
Could be dish alignment or faulty lnb.
Sure on service scan you can change tuner type.
Make sure it says Tuner A and looks the same as in the pic below.

ok mate problem is the tuner itself. i had another dm800hd at my mums house so i took the box round took them both apart and noticed that my mums box had rev m 801a were as mine had 401a i try 801a in my new box and walla the problem was gone. hope this helps ppl in the future.

That's good the M 801a tuner is far superior to the M401a tuner.
