    tuner problem

    both tuners seem to work independently, but when tuner A is recording tuner B goes blank, tuner config is set at both tuners on single sat, is this a software or hardware problem, anyone got any ideas

    Does Tuner B have a direct feed from LNB?

    Swap the feed from Tuner A and connect it to Tuner B.

    Now run a Manual single satellite scan.

    Menu > Setup > Service Searching > Manual Scan > Set tuner to Tuner B and set type of scan to 'Single Satellite'. You should find 960'ish channels. Test that and report back.

    hi
    did scan on tuner A found 970 channels exactly
    did scan on tuner B found 0 channels
    turned tuner A off it now found 970 channels
    I am aware how these receivers work I have had Dreambox 8000 for over 4yrs, its looking more and more a hardware fault

    Not the LX3 then.

    Tuner B working fine you disabled A, I'd look at LNB/Feeds/F connectors/Coax etc....

    If tuners where faulty they'd find zero channels full stop.

    so that will mean that you are also using the same LNB outlet so you should get the same result --Try the other lead and see what you get
