Tuner doesnt find channels
Tuner doesnt find channels
Hi,
After having my T4 crash on entering the setip menu (see my other post below) I reloaded the firmware and all good except.....
My tuners wont work. I suspect they are toast as whilst away during christmas all programmed recordings started and failed, due to the what I believe is a tuner failure.
After reloading the firmware the T4 went into the tuner menu and it defaulted to Australia and Sydney and the scan lasted for all of 25 seconds. Coax cable has signal (TV receives signal with same cable) but alas no channels found.
Just wondering if there is anything im missing or more likely how to replace the tuners.
I did try putting the airial into 2 of the T4's tuners before waving a white flag...
Thanks in advance

Separately, try the lead in to each tuner socket and perform a manual scan using that specific tuner. Tuners A/B and C/D are paired.
You may have the tuner power regulator issue. See this topic and the links within.

Re: Tuner doesnt find channels
All 4 tuners should show in Menu>>Information>>Devices.
Shut down, power off, wait 30 mins, Take the cover off and have a look at the tuner regulators. Post pics so some knowledgeable folk can advise.
Foe repairs, get in touch with Mark/warkus, the living legend, at http://decisivecomputersolutions.com.au/contact.html
He should be able to advise on the couriers and costs, plus give you an idea of his repair costs. Circa $100 I believe (depending on the extent of the damage).
