changing a cable to sat tuner

excalibur · 19-11-2009, 12:53 PM

Is it possible to change the tuner in a nokia from cable to sat, with the impending death of boxes, just thought I could possible do that ( if I can locate said tuner) and then replace my technomate 5200 with the nokia.

any ideas if it can be done ?

Hi NO it will not work;the sat tuner supplies a voltage to the LNB and there is no voltage available to do this

I got nokia d2 sat box and have moved in to cable area.
Is it possible to install a cable tuner in the sat box or is it not that simple to get it to work with cable

Regards
Robin

i think you can on a sagem - that is if they produce a sat version tuner?

They do make a Sagem Sat dBox as i've owned one and it did work extremely well indeed.

You can usually find tuners available on ebay.de.

Its an idea i have toyed with as i have been offered cable dboxs for as little as £10.

The other idea is to try and sell them back to the Germans as they seem to be still using them.
