Hi Guys

I bought a dm 800 hd pvr from ebay. Unfortunately, it turned out to be a cable receiver and now after contacting the seller, I am told that I need to change the dvb-c tuner to a dvb-s tuner. A couple of queries:-

1) Is this a pretty straight forward swap, i.e. remove the dvb-c and plug in the dvb-s.
2) will the box work as a satellite receiver once this is done.

Hi Dale

Could you pls enlighten me on what is a SIM card, is it the same as viewing card?

Hi, are you still doing installs in North Manchester ? I posted in your thread about a week ago but haven't heard back yet ? Thanks in advance.
 
the sim card is actually inside the box and runs software needed for operation of the box
 
Hi Dale

I have changed the dvb-c to a dvb-s, but while trying to tune channels, its says nothing found?? THough it shows in tuner config that it is a dvb-s now, i cant find any channels.

Is there anything else that needs to be done or is the tuner faulty??

STAGE 1.
Setting up a DM800 none usals
GOTO Main Menu \ Setup \ Service Searching \ Tuning
Press "OK" on "TUNER A"



Use L/R keys to change Configuration Mode to "advanced"
Move down to "SATELLITE"
Use L/R keys to select the satellite you want to add



Go down to "LNB"
Use L/R keys to select "LNB 1"
Next ensure "Diseqc Mode" is " 1.2"
(I left the others at the default setting's)
Scroll further down to "LOF" and set it to "Universal LNB" using the L/R keys



Underneath that set "Use USALS" for this satellite to "no" using L/R keys
Go down to "Stored position"
Set the position you want to for this satellite to appear at using L/R keys ie 001, 002 etc and press ok
Then Press "OK" to save the info you have inputted.
You will need to perform this for each Satellite position you intend to set up. Before you got to positioner setup.

STAGE 2.
GOTO back to Main Menu \ Setup \ Service Searching \ Positioner Satfinder
Go down to "Satfinder"



Press ok on Satfinder next picture



Using L/R keys select "Predefined or Manual transponder" as required
Go down to "Satellite" and use the L/R keys to select the Satellite to place at the above Storage postion
Press "OK"
When you have a lock exit this screen

GOTO back to Main Menu \ Setup \ Service Searching \ Positioner setup



Press ok on positioner setup next picture
Go up to "Tune"
Press the "Red Button"
Select the satellite that you had a lock on, change the transponder so it was the same as in the satfinder picture Reply With Quote:)
