Hybrid DVB-C / T Tuner CXD 1981 Plug & Play LG chip fitted

I get in a few days this tuner card:
Hybrid DVB-C / T Tuner CXD 1981 Plug & Play LG chip fitted for the Dreambox DM8000 HD PVR, HD DM800, DM800 and DM7025 HD (+).
I bought this, because the idea that DVB-C(HDTV compatible) and DVB-T is in one card, is just awesome. :thumbsup:


Quoted

Does that tuner runs out of the box, on any enigma2 image?
Because the specs say that switching between DVB-C and DVB-T is done by software. ?(
Or is a specific *.ipk installer file nessesary?

i received the card today.
it's a original one of dream multimedia.

But it doesn't fit in my DM8000. :cursing:
The card cannot fit straight in the tunerslot. ;(

The back of the card (round part of metal plate) cannot get deep enough to fit correctly. So it's like on the images below. The top of the metal plates arwe equal in the tuner. But as you see, the one on the card isshorter, and the print doesn't go deep enough in the slot at the back of the dm8000.

It their a difference between tuner cards size for DM8000 and other tuner cards for other dreamboxes?

I attach two images of tunercard and default metal slot of my dm8000.
As you see, the original tuner slot cover/metal plate is longer then the one on the card. The card cannot fit deep enough in the tunerslot(at rear side of slot).

So not all dream multimedia tunercards (like this LG hybrid dvb-c/t) fit in a dm8000?

I send tuner card back to seller, and asked him friendly if it's possible to look for other tuner card of same type, that has less distance between tuner pins and tuner backplate.

Because :
-or the tuner is in wrong size(just a few millimeters)
-or the motherboard of my Dm8000(original) is mounted a few millimeters too much to the back of the device.

See picture, distance between the two red dots is a few millimeters too much. result is, the pins don't fit correct in tunerslot.

Can Dream Multimedia give feedback. is this something that can happen, that a tuner card is out of size. Just a few millimeters, but enough to give trouble.

It's working out of the box. :thumbup:

Only advise i'd like to give is: Buy a hybrid tuner with no screw that connects print with metal backplate (my photo's is type with screw as you see).
Because if it has screw, then you have the chance that the pins doesn't fit good because of wrong distance between print pins and metal backplate. result is a tuner loop boot.
So get one like in the first posting, no screw at backplate, then backplate is more flexible in position, and then the tuner will fit correctly in tuner slot.
This type of tuner works in: DM8000 HD PVR, DM800 HD, DM800 and DM7025 HD.
