Not used it for some years, plugged in today and booted up ok but then I went to tuner configuration and it was oddly blank. Taking the top off revealed an area of rust on the tuner module so it's obviously dead, shame. obviously the module isn't available anymore I guess ?

You may find resoldering / tinning the rust coloured joints brings life back, if not

Does it share similarities with other boxes ?

It could be a clone of many receivers out there in which case a tuner board will be available.

Take some better images of the board and post (with numbers clearly visible)

Not really worth any effort, the box won't do S2 4.2.2. A good receiver in its day let down by crap software..
