Dodgy dbox

[clapton64]

I have a nokia box that I bought ages ago, I was conned when I bought it as it only worked for just over a month before packing in.
I dragged it out to experiment with flashing etc and after trying different images I got it up and running with Sportster 1.10.
Great I thought, brilliant picture, fast channel change etc but I have one problem. Sometimes when I switch off and reboot I cant get the correct time to come back on. Does this mean that my tuner is duff? or is there a hopefully easier explanation?
Cheers....all help appreciated.

I meant to add if the tuner is goosed is it viable to just replace it and can anyone on the forum help regards repairs.
Cheers.

If you get pictures, just not the time. I wouldn't worry

If you're tuner's gone, you wouldn't get any pictures, or they would come on then go off - you can replace the tuner if you can be bothered to do it.

Lincsat, the problem is that I dont get any channels when the clock doesnt show the correct time.
If the correct time comes up at boot up I'm ok, if it comes up 1.00 clock then I get nothing.
Is there any image out there that forces the box to pick up the correct time signal at boot up?
Thanks for your patience...cheers

I suspect you have either a weak signal or more likely, your tuner is on it's way out and you're not getting any signal rather than just not getting the time signal - the time is transmitted as part of the data stream.

I would check all your connections are good and maybe have a gentle fiddle with the tuner in the back.
