Default Change tuner from c to s

Hi

I have a 500c can I just replace the tuner to a 500s tuner as the rest of the box should be the same?
I can get one for £13 + postage so could save me a few pennys.

Thanks

Karl

No, not that easy !

You also have to add all the components necessary to supply LNB power and the various H/V power signals.

If you get a copy of the 500S schematic diagram, you will see the components that need to be added. Tbh though, you'd be better off selling the 500C and buying a 500S replacement as you'll almost certainly miss something crucial if you try to swap things.

Just had a look at some images of the circuit board and you are right there are quiet a few extra components.
Oh well will have to bin the 500c's when they go off
Thanks
