    Just 4 you guy who didn't believe or have faith there is now a fix. I have repaired these boxes and update them to firmware 4 and are working perfectly. So just to recap THese are original boxes and there is nothing wrong with the tuner. Its a knacked cap on the psu fix as follows. No credit to me at all found this on another site and it works perfectly.

    thanks to plug1 on digital-forums

    Regards Al

    Please remove the profanity bit as there is no need for it. BTW it was taken from another forum other than where you got it.

    My apologies for the language, it just that I’m a bit excited that there a fix. Especially after expert like yourself were convinced there wasn’t.

    Hi Al. I used the fix for my Sv with "0" display.

    Desoldered and temporarily removed Capacitor C21, powered on unit - "On" displayed, powered off unit, removed faulty Capacitor C11 and replaced with new, Resoldered Capacitor C21 back into position. Powered up Sv and rescanned.

    Everything works beautifully again. Thanks again for your help.

    as far as i remember yes you should get the fight on the sly PPV channel unless its changed...normally on the day of the event as its normally blank.
