Toppy: Intermittent picture breakup and 'Signal lost on tuner 1'?
Hi all,
A while ago I started suffering highly untypical randomness on my trusty Topfield PVR 5800 STB. Replacing most of the caps in the PSU seemed to fix it. ;-) Now (a few months later) it's started suffering random audio cutouts along with sporadic picture breakup and eventually (maybe 5-10 mins), a total loss of picture / signal. If you try to re-tune it you get nothing. Turn it off, wait awhile (1/2 hour) turn it back on and (you can then retune it) it starts off fine then after another 30 mins the audio / video starts breaking up. I've tried starting it with no TAPS enabled and done a factory reset (not HDD format yet). When the problems exist, a couple of other devices on the same feed are fine. I did find a reference to other components that could present themselves like this but I wondered if anyone here had actually seen this fault if so what the resolution was please? Cheers, T i m |
