technomate twin oe tuner issues

[mike4scuba]

hi i have a technomate twin oe with tuner issues ( bought from wos and is under 12 months old and has already had a psu replacement)

i am running a fresh install of vix 032

having same issue before installing the fresh install

ok i am getting constant tune fails and service unavailable check tuner configuration on the screen

this problem seems to be intermittent

the tv channels are missing in the morning and have to go into buquets and scan for channels and also the recorded programmes fail to record or only have partial recordings

i have checked the tuner signal strenth in settings and this is what i find

tuner A set to 28.2
snr 0 to 89% fluctuation
agc 0%
ber 0%

tuner B set to 28.2
snr 89%
agr 88%
ber 0%

if i swop the satellite cables over from the dish the readings stay the same. i believe if tuner A was ok and tuner B fluctuated then it would have been a sat/lnb cable issue

as it stays the same then it must be a tuner issue

i have a vu box that i have tried in place of the technomate and both tuners have stable signals

any advice welcome, thanks

Have sent the same message to world of satellite to hopefully get some info on the faulty box

Will keep you posted on their response as it may help people with the same issues at a later date

I would snip some cabling off n reconnect f-connectors etc n see how that goes.

Yea tried that but as its only one box that has the issue then I am sure it's the tuner within the box
