    Dm800c

    Just bought a 2nd hand 800c hoping it was plugnplay for the free HD channels but it didn't pick up any channels.

    It is from another area so do I need to do anything to it to get channels?

    Also I bought a 'S' tuner to try in it but the width between input and out put is different so it won't fit the backplate!!

    Any solutions please?

    Not had a dm800c but you might have to change the symbol rate from 6952 to 6887 or visa versa you might also have to put the correct frequency in aswell but not sure
    also you could try the S tuner without the back plate in place.

    Re: Dm800c

    Think I'll leave it off completely..might help keep it cool.

    When I put the 's' tuner in do I need to take the box back to scratch or leave Nabilo on it?

    cheers
