dm800 tune failed

Re: dm800 tune failed

Haven't had enough time but installed it last night and saw gains of 1 Dbl in D+ package SyFy channel which had signal of 11.5 with best lnb position and old tuner 401.
With new 801A tuner it got 12.5 dbl with some small adjustments!
Need to see if there's other improvements in HD channels especially DisneyHD 28E as reported from most of users.

Re: dm800 tune failed

Ok, got the tuner ...
here's some pictures...

Haven't been using new driver features for a while now, since I use old secondstage-dm800-75.nfi and saw on DreamBoxUpdate
that they have newest secondstage-dm800-84.nfi
for all the newest images and now i'm considering input for Newenigma latest stable!

This is quite a redesigning here in my DM800 since I use old Nabilo BH v0.12 some two years already without needs of any updates!
Now as I'm back again to good old sat scene I'm eager of rolling up my sleeves a bit!!!

late already so will report back tomorrow on signal gains... (hopefully)

Its good, but from my region its very difficult to access the European Satellites. There is no chance with small dish and average type of STB.

Re: dm800 tune failed

Astra N1 is the only satellite on 28.2e that has 100% SNR, for some reason ALPS Tuners can handle this but Eardatek tuners can't.

Re: dm800 tune failed

I'll confirm that when I get my M tuner. Hope there will be no problems since there's bootloader 72.

Re: dm800 tune failed

I agree with Bazinga. Low signal and failed on High s/r is also with original DreamBox with L tuner

Re: dm800 tune failed

sorry i have to ask
you bought a clonebox to a non specified amount
and now you have bought another tuner to it
please tell me what have you saved by buying this clonebox
instead of a original

orginal dm800 cost approx £400 GBP

Clone cost about £100 GBP + ALP Tuner £30 GBP
and I got about £10 GBP Refund for the bad tuner.

you can do the maths.

Re: dm800 tune failed

Hello Vimmers, suppose question is directed to Rizwan or Bazinga.
My tuner hasn't yet arrived! In my case, it's DM800 HD original with these problems as well as lower signal reception. Reportedly signal boost is to 2 dcbl. or to 15-20%, which is awesome, as I understood.

Re: dm800 tune failed

Re: dm800 tune failed

Before that change, i am unable to tune the higher symbol rates like on 100 E such as 40700, also on Hotbird 11258 is not good for me before and now it is much better. On eurobird 9E 11881 have some glitches before, now it is working fine. BBC HD have 62 SNR before and now have 75.

You say BBC HD signal rate 62 on L rev. and afterwards on M 75%, it's a huge difference in boost, whole 15 percent !!!
Glad to have spent 37 euros that well.

Re: dm800 tune failed

i would say as long as you have a good tuner m tuner wins every time

Re: dm800 tune failed

just got my ALPS M tuner, it fixed the problem.

maybe the other tuner had design fault or maybe not compatible with sky mini dish and LNB.

Re: dm800 tune failed

I change my L tuner with Rev. M yesterday. I am amazed to see it have very improved quality and boost the signal strength significantly

I'm very glad to see it solved for you!
Tell me what is the improvement in signal boost after replacement of M tuner. i.e. What was it on some channels before and what signal percentage after replacing of the tuner???

The best Tuner for Sky UK is ALPS Rev M Tuner.

I'm also on signal low status here and after finding these infos of yours @Bazinga ordered one ALPS Rev M Tuner from ebay.de and saw that it's shipment goes form Great Britain.
Much cheers on my face seeing it leaved the shop and on it's way to my home's DM800 hd slot!!!
