After about 2 hours or so (on time) the led's will display random sequences and after that if i change channel ( to anything) the screen will be blank and no channel will work. Any ideas what is failing in this box ?
I've got a couple for spares :-)

thanks

what i do if thsi happens is go over it with my hot air gun.
melt all solder joints on the atmels and also melt the lot in the tuner.

usually sorts it out.

Just run over the board with a soldering iron and some solder.

Make sure you use a hot iron and your quick, get all the connections nice and shiney so there are no dry joints.
