DM800HDse hybrid tuner upgrade - 10/01/17 02:03 PM

Hi everyone,
I own a DM800HDse (with Japhar Sim and OpenPli 6.0+) currently running with a single DVB-S2 tuner. I wanted to upgrade to a hybrid tuner in order to receive both satellite and terrestrial (DTT) signals. Has anybody ever tried this upgrade? If so, can you tell me exactly which model and where to purchase the tuner?
Thanks in advance!

PS: i would like to avoid to purchase a USB DTT receiver.

Is the Hybrid Tuner a Dual Tuner or only a Single Tuner ?

As the clone "Triple/Trial" tuner with 3 inputs in fact is only 1 Tuner, so you can use only 1 tuner at a time...

Personally I prefer to use an external USB DVB-T Tuner, as this let's me Record with one and Watch with the other Tuner...

I didn't exepect that you couldn't use the hybrid tuner at the same time...
In this case can you recommend any cheap USB DVB-T Tuner that is fully compatible with Japhar Images?
Thanks in advance,
JD

Yes, the DigitalKey A867 is just perfect and around 20-30 Euro, on ebay.

Thanks!
But do this DigitalKey A867 and the Sky one share the same chip?
In other words, would it be the same to purchase one or the other?

Ok, I think I'll go for it then.
Does it work out of the box or do I have to install (or load) any specific module at boot?

You just have to install it from the JAM, on the Support OpenPLi section you just have to launch the install or you can send the opkg command. It takes 2 minutes after 2-3 reboots and it works. If you have any problem just PM Toysoft.

We published the latest drivers, and this should give the possibility to have any tuner that is supported by the original box (Probably also the Hybrid ?).
