Dbox In Ireland

OK, with power to the box, Nothing

with no power to box normal analogue channels, just a little
fuzzy

any other sugestions??

 

With connected scart the TV automatically switch to the scart input if the box is powered.
You need the aerial input for the test.

 

had the scart removed, so only using the aerial input when i tried it, i really don't like when these things get the better of me

 

It looks like the input part of the tuner is faulty.

 

thanks for your help mgb17, do you know if it is possible to repair this, or will it have to be replaced, and if so, would you know where and how much it would cost??

 

If you are lucky there is only a dry joint.

 

can anyone point me in the right direction to find a service manual for this dammmm sagem dbox2, i think there is a blown transistor and need to identify it, thanks

 

There is no published service manual known for the sagem boxes.
The blown transistor is a nokia problem.
Check the dbox bible from pt-1. There is a picture with some points you can try to resolder for a sagem tuner.

thanks mgb, i'll have a look at that, don't think it's a transister, but it's directly behind the middle pin of the cable in socket. i'm 99% sure it's gone.

 

yup it's blown, have a picture if you want to see what i'm talking about, not sure how to post it, or even if im allowed??

 

Hi again everyone. Just installed a Dbox2 in Greystones for a mate on NThelL and no channels or even transponders found. I tried my own box(which works fine) on his cable and the same result. Any ideas? Thanks, Larry

 

True cable or N** mmds?

 

I'm not sure cos i don't know a whole pile about the whole subject. Its a new housing development so I am presuming its mmds. Mine is true cable. Do i need different cable/service files for mmds?

 

Are you sure he is getting NTL and not Cablewatch, Magnet whatsoever.

 

Yeah, I looked at the signal box and its definitely NTheLl. He also has a small Pace decoder box with the company name. I'm gonna try a 1x box tomorrow cos I think the scan on them is better with bruteforce etc. The Ber and SNR are very high too.

 

Simply use the irish10 cables.xml and choose NTL mmds for the scan.

 

I'll give it a try. Thanks for your help.

 

Hey guys, can you have a look at the link below, to see the fault with the sagem tuner, two components burnt out, not sure why or how this happened, do you have any idea what these components are(their values,) or am i better off just replacing the tuner, or scrapping the box, and get another one



Hope someone can help??
Thanks.
