    Vuduo Tuner Failed

    hi guys,

    I have a vu duo clone and all was fine, but last night i noticed that i could not record one channel, whilst watching another. On further investigation, i have now realised that Tuner 1 has stopped working. The reason i know this is because i have checked both satellite wires and they both are working on tuner 2, so it cannot be the wiring or the lnb.

    The settings of tuner 1 are exactly the same as tuner 2, so it can't be that too. I am running blackhole 1.7.2.

    Please can someone help me!

    Thanks!

    Not much you can do if the tuner is stuffed m8 you should have payed a bit more and got a original box at least you would have a valid warranty

      Surely there must be ways of trying to fix it?

        Try the box on someone elses to eliminate the lnb and cable as problem.
        If that's still same do a full reflash of box then see if problem still exists.

              As tuners are fixed no unless you have new board.

                Thanks for letting me know mate. I now won't be purchasing a vu duo as it's expensive to repair/replace.

                Which cheapest box can provide me with the following? :-

                1. HD channels
                2. At least 1 day EPG
                3. Has twin tuners
                4. Has regular support and updates

                    Thanks for letting me know basset, but does it have a lot of support, like the dreambox has?

                      Compared to the dreambox mate no where near the same support or images

                        thanks for clarifying that digicon mate. I know this may sound like a daft question, but is there a clone dreambox that is hd and has 2 tuners? If so, what model?

                          You can get a original Dreambox DM7020 HD with 2 sat tuners for around ?550-600

                          why are you asking about another clone box when the clone box you already have is stuffed

                            because mate i think the reason one of my clone tuners is stuffed because my missus disconnected it to clean the shelf and daft thing dropped it...she's only admitted it now.

                            I couldn't afford ?500-600 and i think if it hadn't been for her dropping it, it should have lasted.

                              The Only clone one available from Dream is the 8000HD but its pretty hard to find now and for the price of it you might as well buy an original VU but they just dont have the images that the Clone DM's have.
