[QUOTE="Pete6, post: 187602, member: 218976"] Well, it works now and I'm happy. In fact, tis kind of thing is not so rare in chip manufacturer. The silver dendrite grows within the chip along the substrate and not across the external pins. This is why you can't clean it with a wire brush! Remember that I was seeing good signal strength but no signal quality. Hence it was pretty obvious that there was no protocol lock at the packet or frame level. I had my original receiver that has worked for years on a stable installation so I knew that whatever I saw was almost certain to be withing the new box. What fooled me was the fact that the new box worked fine until I tried to upgrade the EPG. Of course, it picked this exact moment to fail. It also failesd the Mk. 1 eyball test so obviously I blamed the software upgrade. [/QUOTE]
