I too am sceptical about that "fix".
I've got an Amstrad DRX280 with similar problems. Tuner 2 drops in and out. Sometimes it will record, sometimes it won't. If you watch the tuner page long enough you can see it going from locked to not locked and then back again. I've tried swapping the cables over and it's still tuner 2 at fault. My Pace PVR2 works fine with them.
The card I'm using is not paired with the box, but I've tried the same things with a friend's DRX280 and it all worked fine with my card (on FTA).
Similar post from someone on digitalspy recently suggested it was a faulty tuner. Not sure how technical a diagnosis that was. I've checked the PCB and there's no obvious faulty caps. Might try swapping the tuner but it doesn't look that easy. Maybe just re-solder might be enough. |
