Dreambox 800 Clone Tuner Replace

[piptaps]

I wonder why people go out of the way trying to fix the clone tuner. Its best just to throw away that tuner which came with the box and replace with original from germany. Good place to get them is eBay: Neue und gebrauchte Elektronikartikel, Autos, Kleidung, Sammlerst?cke, Sportartikel und mehr ? alles zu g?nstigen Preisen

you will never have HD problems again. One other thing is signal needs to be 70% + all the time on HD channels

Thats a valid point but at the time I fixed mine it was very expensive to buy another. Also some people like to fiddle with electronics and might enjoy the repair. I do have over 70% on all channels.

mine at 50% and is ok at the min but does need a new tuner and yes i can solder but i carn't see the point in replacing caps if you still got to use a inline booster thats what i use now and it just don't work without it.

If you dont want to use an amp then get a new one from ebay Grrmany, I dont really understand how the repair works but it is working at a good signal level, much higher than 50. The amp may not be necessary if you have a short cable and large dish but theres no harm in using one. It gives me 0 BER and no glitching.

If you get another flog the faulty one on fleabay.

One more point are you sure its the DM800 and not the cable or LNB, check all the connections out and test it with another receiver just incase before shelling out.

thanks mate but its not worth that price
thanks

I tried to look for you but I couldnt find anything cheaper, Thats the cheapest on ebay that I can find,

I think from now I wont bother with clones, not worth the trouble.

Even if the tuner was 40 odd quid it would still work out to 55 ish with postage.

yep clones are dead in my world

[tvadict]

i have a clone dm800, when it arrived i changed tuner straight away with an original one.

I have never had problems at all. It work just as my dm8000.

The ebay link is about ?50 tuner and the dm800 clone is now ?150 from china, total cost ?200 and you have a solid box same as the original at close to $400
