Last night my 1tb box started having trouble with signal reception. Upon checking the cables from the dish it seems my issue is down to water ingress into the calbe that was connection to input 1. As the copper pin has turned into brown goo where it has oxidised.
I have tried the box in another room that has 2 cables available and both tuners work. I am arraging for someone to come and renew the cable. In the meantime I have switched the box to single feed mode. When running this way is it normal for the search and scan bar to not get populated and for the channel nunber that you just entered to stay on screen even when it has changed.
As I am just trying to guage if the box is ok or not. Also as I have a spare one of the Thomson HD boxes can swapout the female connector on the back myself so that I don't have all the brown gunk on the back.
