Apologise if this is covered elsewhere I have looked but there is so much information it takes a lot of reading. My Hdr stopped working a few weeks ago in the high winds. I reset the box to factory and since then it won't pickup any signal on Tuner 1. I have a sky box that I have connected in place of the hdr and that receives signal excellently. I have taken the Hdr to a friends and again no signal even after another reset. Going to channel 999 and diagnostic I am getting on tuner 2, 80% signal and 75% quality. Swopping the cables around I am getting 0%. On both tuners. To my way of thinking everything is pointing to tuner 1 being faulty, I have looked at the capacitors and they are all flat so maybe not blown?.
Would the Hdr not work at all if no signal to tuner 1 or should it work on tuner 2 and would it be easy to replace the tuner, the box has a 1gb hard drive so must be worth trying to save. Many thanks for any information.

Can you try this, connect a single cable to tuner 1 in (Note the centre connector is tuner 1 out not in), and do a factory reset. If you get past the postcode verification stage then shut down the box and replace the cable to tuner 1 with the other one. Does the box now boot up or report no signal ?
If this works connect both cables to tuner 1 in and tuner 2 in (make sure the centre connector has nothing connected). Repeat the reset all being well you should see a two cables found message.
Can you use channel 999 ? If so with 999 being viewed what does diagnostics say your signal strength and quality is ?
Thanks
Is that on channel 999 ?
This is very puzzling.
Can you try tuning to BBC1 HD and press the record button. Now tune to Channel 4 HD and again press the record button. Now tune to BBC2 HD can you watch the channel and does live pause work ?
Thanks
