DM800 Tuner Stopped Working

[shlmn]

Hi all,

Suddenly I get "Tune Failed" on all channels and sats.


Everything was working great until now but this evening:
1. I switched to "History HD" on 15W.
2. After a minute got "Tune Failed"
3. Tried to move to other channels (not HD), same issue.
4. Reboot - same issue
5. Tried to scan sats again - no channel was found!
6. Reinstalled Gemini 4.4 - same issue.
7. Gemini 4.1, 4.2 and 4.5 - same issue.

What can be done?

Thanks.

you need to change a capaciter on the tuner. do have a solder iron?

This is either soft or hardware. Looks like several recent CVS versions have this bug.
I had the same on my dm800 with newnigma2 v2.7. Upgrading to 2.8.2 based on newer CVS was helpful.

I tried with Gemini 4.1, 4.2, 4.4 and 4.5 and couldn't get
it to work.

Do you think it is worth trying Nabilo? or just go and get a new tuner? (I don't have a solder iron...)

I'll order a new tuner and see how it goes.
