[QUOTE="Archive7, post: 1012143"] I decided today to open the box. I am sure that this will not invalidate the warranty because the tuner module is pluggable so what if I decided to change it during the warranty period to a different type? The inside of the box is quite neat and I unplugged the module which is the blue type as per the warning in the box. Nothing visibly damaged on the module or the main PCB. Put everything back and as expected the problem is still there. Perhaps I should give some details about my set up. I have 1.6m dish on the top of the roof of the building pointing to Hotbird 13E, installed by a professional. Not easy to climb there but I did that 20 years ago. The LNB is quarto. Four cables come down to my apartment total distance about 20-25m. Inside the apartment there is a Zenwell multiswitch that takes all the four cables and on the other side there are four outputs with cables that can go to a maximum of four receivers. One output is connected to the Sony TV built-in generic tuner and works great, except it has a lousy user interface. A second cable goes to tuner B of the VU+ Solo Se V2 which has this problem. The remaining two outputs are spares that I use for testing other receivers and they all show a good signal for the missing TP's. Is it possible that the quarto LNB is the culprit? It is about 20 years old or perhaps the Zenwell multiswitch inside the apartment? The missing transponders are shown in the channels list but they don't bring in the channels. Is this normal? Perhaps it is not a coincidence that the TP's frequencies are on the high end, 12,188V, 12,265V, 12,284H !!! Do I need to add voltage to the LNB because of the cables length? I didn't see an option to do that with the VU+ I am not going to buy a dual tuner at this stage as it costs nearly half the price of a brand new receiver. Amazon have always been very understanding and unless I am certain that the problem is with the receiver, I am not going to contact them with regards to sending it back for servicing or refund, if I am eligible. Thank you all for your help. [/QUOTE]
