OpenWebif Streaming

looks correct may need to see what others suggest and the core of f plug looks ok as i had that on a duo for weeks and blank recordings

Going by your other thread, you have tried everything. Send a message to the seller and he'll get back to you soon.

Try disabling all tuners but tuner B and see if it picks any thing up, also never assume any thing, if in doubt remove and refit the f-plugs after all its a two minute job and will guarantee they are fitted and working correctly, instead of just assuming so.

I had the same problem with my nano2 super by trial and error i stripped off the outer shield wire on the b wire and everything now works perfectly it was almost like it was shorting it out

yes thats why I say don't just assume the cables and f-plugs are ok if they were working on a previous system, just unscrewing them from one receiver can be enough to cause issues.

Thanks abu baniaz for linking to the other thread e-mailed the forum sponsor yesterday but no response yet, I understand he is closed for the festive season which is why im trying to resolve this myself as I don't really want to wait till 5th Jan for a replacement

The OP would not need to repeat him self if he did not start multiple threads for the same issue. one is more than sufficient and will cause less confusion for those trying to help him.

i had to totally remove the shield wire and just have the copper centre in place completly wierd i know

 

[neo1607]

Will try stripping down both the A and B feeds and refitting the f plugs see if that helps at all

 

[jwestwood74]

also try removing the shield like i said if still not working think you will find your problem solved this way

 

[neo1607]

The original thread was originally about openwebif that turned into a tuner problem thread, I assumed posting about the actual hardware fault in the correct box forum would maybe get a little more help

It's worth a try just to be thorough and rule it out if nothing else.

Poor show when a £199 box has a dodgy 2nd tuner

Wouldn't mind but will most likely have to wait till after new year now before getting a replacement box which is frustrating

Thats always a possibility with any thing from a toaster to a multi million pound jet plane, and while it may be frustrating for you, if the unit is indeed defective it will be repaired or replaced under warranty.

ok didn't strip down Feed A as that is providing a solid 96% strength signal to Tuner A anyway, i stripped down the cable that's going into Tuner B and tried again, still nothing being detected, I can't see any obvious fuses or caps blown on the motherboard.

Does it still sound like it's a hardware issue?

 

[jwestwood74]

did you completly strip all the outer wire off ??

try taking the f plug off totally and just sticking the copper middle wire into the lnb

Yes if you have tried every thing within reason to diagnose the cause of the fault without success just contact the sponsor and let him take it from there. Also send him a PM via the forum, he will get it when the shop re-opens in January and for the time being the receiver will work happily with just a single tuner, providing you dont want to watch and record multiple channels at the same time.

Tried this didn't make any difference

The main reason i got this box was to use it to watch and record multiple channels, however I will just have to hold off until I get my replacement box i guess


Thanks for all the help guys

Then must be faulty tuner leaving you no option but to contact supplier
