If you consider still working in daily use 2 years after the transplant, unsuccesful, then maybe you have a point!

Perhaps you have forgotten that you helped me out a few years ago by supplying me with a donor board with a view to replacing a damaged tuner. Removing the tuner from the board is a far from easy task, not only are the pins soldered in, but the can itself is held on by crimped tags, which are...

It is interesting that just five members have contributed 32 out of 37 posts so far on this matter!

I would assume that the electricity meter would store the data from both meters and only send cumulative readings to the billing system periodically or when polled..

As I understand it, only the gas meter has a battery and periodically communicates readings (about 1/2 hourly?) to the electriity meter. Hence the load is very light., The electricity meter then does the heavy lifting of both sets of data to the management system. It would be rather difficult to...

Could this be another instance of the tuner saga?

I had the feeling that heat around the heat sink had more effect. Perhaps you could try the blow torch there before you give up.. I also found that HD channels were affected before SD Mine is still working OK after 8 nonths.

I have just been converted to FTTP and have retained my old BT number. This seems to be standard with most service providers nowadays. The old land line had become unreliable and periodically noisy,even though the connection under the pavement outside had been recently dug up and renewed,in an...

I believe you can't have WiFi and Lan at the same time, only one or the other.

Still in daily use after 5 months... https://hummy.tv/forum/threads/tuner-saga.11015/

Five months on and still in daily use...

Some of the regulars may remember a thread from eighteen months ago where I was investigating tuner difficulties following damage caused by a falling picture frame... Dead HDR-FOXT2? | hummy.tv ...and a follow up six months ago. HDR Fox T2 loses all signals after a day or 2 unused | hummy.tv A...

Inserting/removing a USB device did not fix the problem. I contacted Humax and they replaced the unit which was only a week old. I closed the thread on the other forum, but obviously forgot to close here.

Thanks. That is the actual board supplied by BH from which I salvaged the tuners. I was more interested in the component functional descriptions eg "tuners", "modulators" "regulators" etc
