i have a dreambox 800se clone satellite receiver with tuner bcm 4505 revG
had the receiver 2 1/2 years now and all the sd channels are ok.
but some of the HD channels are starting to breakup after about 5 minutes viewing on BBC ONE HD, BBC 2 HD, ITV HD BBC THREE HD, BBC FOUR HD, ITV2 HD, ITV3 HD, ITV4 HD
the only one that dosent break up is channel 4 hd which seems strange.
i have a good signal strenth and i know it not the signal strenth,
just woundering if the tuner is starting to become faulty?

whats my option do i go for the same tuner rev G?
or can i replace it with another dreambox tuner?

Common problem with that tuner mate.

A Rev M tuner cures the problem.

Without installing any special drivers
Thanks

You can install the sr4 tuner but from memory it requires a new backplate those are available

Yes, I replace triple tuner my 800se.

To signal; "lower threshold level", better than BCM4505 tuner.

Had this problem with DM800se.
Replaced the HDMI cable!
The problem disappeared!!
Don't know why!!
Try it, you may be pleasently suprised.

If it dos't solve the problem I would go for Rev M tuner as suggested by Ferret.
Did not try the triple tuner.
