[soso_cool]

I ordered two Deambox 800 Hd clones from yaoxin arrive today as promised but on setting it up, I got a messaege " tune failed" on both of them does that mean the tuners are bad because I intend on contacting the seller Tina in Hong kong asap to send me out 2 new tunners. advice please is there is something I need to do in setup for tuner to work. in configuration it says lnb not available.

id imagine you need to configure the tuner, tony is usualy ok and the boxes are usualy sound. id imagine they are all tested to before sending them half way round the world.

is your dish ok?

do a factory reset and set the box up from scratch

i got a box from the same place a couple of weeks ago - you need to set up the tuner for your prefered satelite, alternatively factory reset and run through the tuning process again.

I think wrong setup tuner

or broken tuner--- i ordered and realised the M tuner was broken replaced with a old rev J tuner i had sitting somewhere and bang it worked! So replacement on it's way, looks like the dm800 pro yaoxin seem to have a lot of broken tuners off does not look good so far, another buyer also reported a broken tuner he managed to fix by some soldering....

Yes I recieved broken tuner Rev M. I ordered ONLY tuner though..not a whole reciever (I already had DM800HD with L3 tuner). Tuner wasnt packaged well and got damaged in the post.

The Big 330uf 16v Electrolytic Capacitor on front of the tuner solder connections were broken and the capacitor was not even on the board was lying in the bottom of the envelope.

Legs were snapped on the Capacitor as well...Luckily I managed to solder 2 small pieces of wire to the broken capacitor legs and resolder the capacitor to the tuner board.

This was faster and easier than sending back to China...The capacitors Maplin did not stock..and you have to buy in quantities of 10 online...
