DM800 tuner empty problem

hello chaps,

hoping someone can help me with my 800, which, after flashing an 84b openpli image a week or so back, is saying tuner empty in tuner config.

i've tried reflashing with dreamup (serial) and with browser, using images going back to ssl76d and upto 84b, openpli, nemisis, de, dbuk, but they all say there's no tuner there!,

also i've swapped tuners as at first i thought it was h/w problem, used different pcs, different psus as well but it still says tuner empty..

any help greatly appreciated, i'm so close to sending it to the doorstop in the sky lol.

cheers fellas :clapping:

Have you tired sending in a patched driver tuner ko file after flashing with the tuner missing ? Should not need to but have you tried ?

ps. bet you had a laugh at that turkish ref t'other night

no go mate, still tuner empty

please excuse my ignorance mate but where does .ko file go?

Try the ko file mate that then proves its not image related.

I take it you checked the tuner is sat in its slot correctly.

yes, done that, and made sure that the little spacer is holding it in level.

thanks but still the same mate, looks like it's mobo problem then i guess

was wondering if usb tuner might solve it?

When I had this problem, I solved it by installing an old image in the flash.
It was a DreamEliteBH_133D-DM800HD.

thanks to a very good mate got that image now bud but still 'tuner a - empty (nothing)'

can only think it's motherboard issue, got tried and tested one coming next week so will take it from there.

i'll keep you informed.

thanks for all your help guys, appreciated
