DM500 Tuner Sensitivity

I've just moved from an SS2 card on the PC to using a DB500S - a very nice and versatile box. The tuner seems to be less sensitive than the SS2 card though - is this my imagination or do others find the same? I'm certainly not getting all the chaneels on fringe sats that I got with SS2 - even allowing for weather etc..

It's the latest ALPS model. all the checks for genuine and was bought from a reliable well known UK dealer
Thanks guys

Thanks for the swift reply - has anyone ever improved the performance of the tuner ... through hardware or software?
