over the last couple of weeks my box has become noisey as if there is a bearing in a fan gone, could this be the case or would it be something else ?
We had an old Techmate TM5200 D for many years worked fine with moveable satellite dish system. No HD so decided to upgrade to TM5402HD.
This has many nice features and has been installed no problem. Unfortunately my dear Wife is terribly bothered by the high pitched hissing noise that the box produces sometimes intermittently and sometimes continuously. My hearing is not as acute so I can put up with it but she has made me go back to the old box because she cannot remain in the sitting room when this hissing noise is present.
I see from the posts that there may be an epidemic fault on the fans ?
I also see there has been a patch that can turn off the fan.
We cannot return the box since our Aerial man sold it to us as a second user box but otherwise "brand new"
Is there a fix for this or do I have to buy another brand new one!
