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.

Check the netid sticky in the dbox2 section if its not in there and you have a vm box go into the engineers menu to find it.

hi m8
just google
dm800 clone how to tell,,,
if its a clone ??? be careful what image you try,, because wrong bootloader could cause you probs ,,,
if i were you i would keep trying with the image you have already got on it

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
