Hi everyone,


Has someone ever experienced that DM5620 can't receive low symbolrate channels (below 5000-8000)? I read some posts about the capacitor problem of DM 5620 in the sat-industry forum. The replacement of two electrolytic capacitors improved the tuner sensitivity. I would appreciate some advice whether the replacement is worth it. I just can't believe that my dreammachine is so handicaped.

In early DB7000 models, power supply repair (with capacitor replacement) improved stability at low symbolrate channels. DN5620 has the same tuner. There is the possibility of the same problem. This tuner is a lot of better in other receivers (I have read it somewere).

Don't you know - by chance - the capacitor values? I've already bought two 2200mikroF/16V capacitors, 'cause I think the original ones (same capacitance but for 10V) died for some reasons. I intend to replace them. If I succeed I will tell you (maybe in Hungarian :))
