    I have bought a dreambox 900 original the DTT tuner that I find original is OK,
    but when I put a tuner sat (I tried many dvb2 dual, trial, dvbs2x, etc.) it tune few channels.
    Where I can try the fault in motherboard?
    I try all the images dreamelite, gemini, openatv ecc.
    The same tuner and sat configuration is ok with a DM 920 that I have.
    Thanks.

    Bad reception which is not caused by the tuner itself....

    I haven't experienced this situation yet on a dm900 so I can't give a solution or good advice.
    I think it's best to check the voltages related to the tuner slot (see here for an overview) which are generally the 3.3v/5v and 12vdc.
    Furthermore, it think that it can also be caused by the cpu, thinking of a bad and or interrupted connection between the cpu and the tuner.
    A defective or dirty tuner slot is also possible.
