A lot of the dreamboxes suffered from poor tuners with bad sensitivity. My 5620 suffers from such issues. Also the majority of the 500s if you purcahsed in the last year are clones and can often be of a poor build quality.

The clones have terrible tuner issues , especially when trying to run a motor.

My genuine one is 4 years old , and I haven't had any issue with the tuner. Far better than the one in my sky box.
