For anyone else trying to source, here is a high temperature type that is probably suitable.
It is rated at 10V and is 16 mm high... I don't know the size of the original.
I went for this from Farnell.
They charged me only 20p (INCLUDING P&P!) and the cap arrived the next day.
Took only a minute or too to fit, new cap is a fair bit bigger, but no problem with size.
Tuner works 100%.
Great stuff... and a real bargain.

I think I'm going to have a go at this.
Question: Looking at the position of the cap that needs replacing, do you need to remove that PCB to get to the underside in order to solder it in place? or could you snip the legs off and solder the new cap to the exisiting legs?
Thanks,

Guess where one of the screws went? Right through the ribbon cable ...
Thanks for all the great advice...ordered a couple of caps from Farnell and will pop into town at the weekend to get a soldering iron/solder...fingers crossed.

....and it worked...fantastic...
Total cost of repair..40p
Borrowed a soldering iron off a mate...took about 30 mins in total.
Thanks again to all the great advice on this thread.
Cheers..

I have the same problem with my DMR EX75 of not being able to receive freeview digital channels yet I can still receive analogue channels. I opened my box and checked the capacitor you pointed out but mine doesn't seem to be blown out on top. Is it still possible that the capacitor is faulty? Is there any other reasons why I cant receive digital channels?
Thanks for your reply. I've been looking on ebay for a replacement capacitor but I'm not exactly sure what I'm looking for. I know it needs to be 680uF 10v. I have found a Panasonic FC series 10V 680UF LOW ESR capacitor. Will this be suitable.
Don't forget to observe polarity.
I am a real newbee in soldering this stuff... how can I be sure to make it right on this polarity issue?
someone has a picture with the work done?
thanks
Thanks for your advice Gavtech. You saved me a few hundred dollars. The new capacitor worked a treat.
