to establish what tuner model it is , remove it from box , and on underside should be printed Rev L3 , Rev J or Rev K , btw L3 has had some reports of still glitching .
As the poster above says , get an inline amp , Make sure it is the "sloping" model "13db to 19db sloping" , dont just buy the 20db one , Try it and try and stick with the box for a while , it will be well worth it in the end mate , plus plenty of helpful members here if you get stuck , good luck mate

sounds like good spec mate , should be printed on underside of board (on green board of tuner)
as in pic attached (ignore the circles)
you need to remove back-plate then remove tuner

its a bit hot now so will look later, it seams a bit better now thanks tbh , but i read a few have glitch's with the rev L3 aswell.
I'm watching it on a 720hd TV and first time iv watched hd and wow, will watching it on a 1080p TV make a big difference , I'm thinking for the ?145 i should keep it ?

i do need the dream image like you said, theres one but it says 76a image im unsure this will be ok or not.
thank you for your help kind sir

dm800 doesn`t output full 1080p , only HD ready 720p/1080i . so dont see using a 1080p tv will make a great deal of differance , unless its got a top-notch upscaler in it (pioneer). like you say for ?145 its a lot of kit , and well worth gettin to grips with , one thing i would definately do is add a sloping amp "13db to 18db" as this reportedly cures the glitching issue .

dont be afraid to make a cable yourself , there isn`t much to it , google "fitting an f plug" think there is a few vids on youtube too , its a doddle mate ,
or failing that , ask the ebay seller to include a small patch lead , prob only charge you a quid extra .
good luck ,

think thats ok?
im thinking i need f to f? so the above ones no good?

[phils_confused]

That'd be fine mate. It's a bit long for my liking. I just bought an amp and 6inch patch lead for ?3.50. Off fleabay. But as it says above, making a lead up yourself I really easy

[the man]

i was thinking of getting a 20meter one so i can move the box around dohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

i will look for a tiny one , or as southpaw said just ask the amp seller

[andy91]

Stop a virgin man in the street they will make you one without charge or a sky man.
A sky man made me one other day chucked me some extra cable and f-connectors.

ps,on the inline amp does the in on the amp go towards the tuner??
