Thread: 3100 Problems Thread

they must have had a crappy box... cuse its all up on the US company and all except ppv and porn on the the can company.. and YOU NEVER hack without having a legit backup... thats what my special friend tells me....lol...I pay 110$ to bell EVERY month for xpressvu...

Hey there,

I have a 3100 that I have had since 2004 that decided to break this week. At first it wouldn't come on, green light up for a second and then would turn off... power button is not responding at all unless i hold it in to reset but then it dies again... the ODD time it may start up but will not connect properly and can't seem to connect to all transponders.

I have 4 receivers in my home, all other work fine so I am sure i have no switch/signal issues.

Any ideas?

Also, the 3100 has the new card since march 2008.

Thanks!

The card starts with s40068

The green light on the front panel comes on for about 15 sec when i plug it in,pull the card, or hold the power button in. Nothing shows up on the tv.

Refurbished 3100 and 4100 are sold 49$ plus 12$ shipping and handling (63$). You can only get then throught our TECH 3 departement

Taking DISH CARE for a year will cost you 6$/month (72$)

New 3100 and 4100 are sold 99$ at Bell stores, or you might even get in special at our retailler (Future Shop-Dumoulin)

That was my take on it. Yes same everthing.
Thanks,

Thanks for your replies Nimiq and Agent.
I should probably go for a 4100. I think I read somewhere that it changes channels faster. Is there any other reason to go with a 4100 vs 3100?

I had a 3100 with s-video and RCA audio connected. Never noticed a heat issue. It seems odd that these connection would cause a heat problem.

I tried moving the receivers, same problem. I checked all the cables they llok good too. It looks like its a new receiver in my future

Well at least we tried......
