            Not so sure that is the answer.

            Tested to change my bouquete and sudenly it workt again, there seems to be a problem in channel list, not sure what yet.

            Maybe Dreambox edit mess up the bouquete's.

              you shouldnt really use Gemini Project on cloned boxes..

              from a ten second search on here found this..

              But now have a bizzare issue. Sky Sports 1 HD is unwatchable, glitching every second. signal level is 58% on this channel alone. Why is it so? how may i fix it? I have 6 images and i have tried them all but stil the same, glitchy SP1 HD.

              To all those having tune failed problems, find new or used ALPS tuner and problem is solved
              there are lots of threads on this mate.. a simple search would have seen it

              if you want a box to work perfectly buy an original mate.. its a better option

                    check the alignment of the dish.. they are just thrown up by the sky engineers.. a sky dish is a sky dish.. its the same one for HD and SD

                      Problem is we have skyHD box and it recieves the HD channels no problem I know what your thinking why bother with a dm800 well the skyhd contract ends next month anyway that's a different story so I should still get the skyhd channels on the dm800 I just wish I could send it to somebody that really knows because I have been at it now for 3 weeks plus late nights doing my head in to say the least

                          I was in the same problems few days back. Remove the name-less, poorly made tuner which come with the box from China. Buy yourself an ALPS tuner and swap. Problem solved. You get original ALPS tuners from eBay: Neue und gebrauchte Elektronikartikel, Autos, Kleidung, Sammlerst?cke, Sportartikel und mehr ? alles zu g?nstigen Preisen

                          What i have found though is that Sky sports 1 HD, channel 4HD and discovery HD do have picture but glitches every few seconds

                            if you get tuner failed, oyu need to modify the tuner itself by rppleacing a capacitor

                            dc
                            Wavefield Ds 55cm at 13E 19E and 28E receiving everything out there on 2 dm800hd
