BD-E8900 Strange behaviour! *please read*

Post by nobody »

Hello!
I just bought a BD-E8900.
I'm in Italy.
I noticed this very strange thing:

The BD-E8900 can't tune RAI UNO at 205500 mhz (7mhz badwidth).

My Samsung TV can if I connect the antenna directly to the TV and I have 96% signal!.

BUT, if I connect the antenna to bd-e8900 then my TV also gets 0 signal on that transponder!!

It's like there is a filter on the tuner and antenna pass-thru!

I'm running the latest firmware. (but I'm afraid this is a hardware tuner related problem)

Did anybody notice this?

Yes, we know this very well.

Maybe this is hardware related problem and you should call Service?

You know very well what?

Call service? I think all of them would do the same. It seems a tuner related problem.

Hmm nevermind. I got a new unit, incredibly, this one works and doesn't have that problem.
Also, internal inspections shows different marking on the mainboard but same (double) tuner.
I wonder what could have been so wrong in the first unit that was RMA.
Probably after all it was a hardware related problem, but I wonder what problem can cause this "filtering" behaviour.
