Just a quick update. Received some 800's from Tony today, which have the rev L main board as well as L3 tuner, and all chans including Disc HD, Disney etc are glitch free. Box came with 2.01 BL 76A, Gemini 5.1 image. Will experiment later with these Tuners that did not work on my original tests.

Update 2, Day two of new box and tuner and Glitch has returned. I really cant recommend updating.

ref the booting problem.
happens to me as well but leave it alone for maybe 10/20 mins and eventually it does boot.

too many variables to suggest a certain tuner glitches or doesnt glitch , for instance length of cable run , quality of cable , quality of lnb , dish size , signal strength , etc , therefore what may glitch for one setup may be perfectly glitch free on another persons setup ,

For anybody thinking of replacing tuners ,from my experience, your best chance of glitch free HD dm800 is to speak to bubbles , as his supplier seems pretty up to date on latest revs in the tuners scene

If you can solder you would be better off doing the fix you get for the rev j/k tuners rather than wasting ?30 or more on a new tuner, you could sort your one and stop the glitching for less than ?3.

I have a clone dm800 with mainboard rev J and tuner L3, now the box reboot about 15 minutes and then boot fine, I don't know if the tuner or mainboard is bad

Could be numerous things mate. Overheating is commonplace with these tuners, so foremost I would check that the box has enough room for ventilation. I would recommend a usb fan or cheap notebook cooler. Could also be the tuner, these REV L3 versions are very poor. The new REV M ive been testing seem to work in every model mainboard. good luck.

I have to say that isn't the case. Since I did the testing on theses boards, the new REV M has model fixed every problem the L3 had. Boots from all sims and images. The L3 tuners I had were tried in a variety of scenarios and the result was always the same. In fact if anyone has 5 rev J tuners, Id be happy to exchange them for L3's.

Finally, I replace the L3 tuner, my new k tuner solve this problem, now boot fine.

The L3 tunner I think is of bad quality.

[bubbles69]

If you only just bought you should have a new version the dm800 pro, there will be a sticker/hologram saying dm800pro on the box.. if not the seller has been naughty and sold you a old box that he knew has problems

[krisbanagan]
