1 week today i had sky+ and a mini box put in downstairs,came down this morning to find 80 percent of the channels didnt have a signal or there was a technical fault with the channel.reboots it no different ring sky end up in a service menu messed around with it still no joy.anyone got any info or knowledge of anything maybe i can do ??? saturday is the best they can do to come out 1 BLOODY WEEK OLD mini box sky+ is fine though.
Swap the boxes over, that will tell you if the fault is with the minibox or the LNB/cable that feeds it. It is quite possible for a QUAD LNB to have a fault on a single output while the other three work fine.
thanks for the reply mate but i really cant be bothered unhooking all my sky+ box from the homecinema etc.its just mad how it seems to be 80% movies 100% sports bbc2 and some of the other services.i was thinking about hooking the sky+ up but i will just try and borrow a sky box tomorrow from my friendly av dealer lol.
If the fault is with the LNB then make sure the guy they send swaps the LNB for a new one, he might just connect the cable to the spare output which in the long term might come back and bite ya
so if he justs changes the box and everything is fine it must be the box,but if he gets the trusty ladders out WATCH HIM LIKE A HAWK LOL.cheers again for the help
