No Signal on Sky +

I've been getting the error 29 no signal received.

I noticed the other night that some of my channels were not appearing so swithched off the box, when I put it back on no channels with the error 29.

I checked the signal strength in the services menu and this was 0. I've since tested my box at the neighbours and this was fine.

So I believe it to be the dish but not that sure what is the best thing to do. I think it may be the LNB but what is the best way of checking this and is it a idea to get another one to test?

I spoke with Sky and they want £65 and were very unhelpful as I expected.

Any advise on this and would be great as I'm sitting with no telly at the moment.

Cheers.
