Xtrend ET10000 or VU+Duo2

[George Kildare]

Very many thanks for the advice everybody. Much appreciated. I have ordered a Xtrend ET10000 to be delivered when I get home in 3 weeks time.

Coming back to this issue as ET10000 and Duo2 owner. I`m in terrestrial network having 4x Si2169 C/T2 tuners plus one Sundtek usb tuner in my ET10000.
My Duo2 has 2x dual C/T2 TT3L10 tuners plus 2x Sundtek tuners.
ET10000 gives sometimes message tuning failed when recording channels and tuners should still be available. Duo2 never does this.
My conclusion is, that the drivers Xtrend supplies for their ET10000 box are faulty, but for some reason they cannot fix those.
Kind of a pity since box is otherwise quite nice.
Image should not be the reason between behavior of the boxes since both run Hades 018.

You have to be careful with what is in the 4th slot - see restrictions in the ET10000 manual - not sure if you are falling into that issue

Never had this with latest revision of Samsung tuner on ET10K.

Could be ... when was the last revision that you are aware? It's interesting because I had 2 revisions on my ET8000/ET10000 tuners..... but that's over 12 months ago.

Is that info only on the card, or can it be found via VIX or telnet?

Outer box packging of the tuner. Not got access to actual tuner right now.

On the box circuit board.

All new purchases will be latest build

Thanks, for the replies.

The WOS delivery for an ET10000 with 4 DVB-C/T/T2 tuners included 3 empty circuit board boxes - 2 were 106A, one was for a Sat card, and one was missing.

The reason I'm asking is because I'm pretty sure I've seen the "tuning failed" error when there was no reason for it to happen.
I had a few test recordings on the go when I selected bbc2 to view (via the epg), when bbc1 was recording.

'Tune failed' can also be caused by any part of the feed (dish-alignment/LNB/switch/connectors).
