Hi all im in desperate need of advice help! Please read carefully its going to get complicated
i already have 2 recordable Humax freesat boxes( only able to record to programme's at once on each box) connected to my old sky dish though its octo LNB 1 upstairs 1 down. they both work perfectly 2 cables each from sky dish.
I have just bought a new a 3rd recordable freesat box for the daughters room, which has 2 inputs but can record 4 channels at once .
so i went and bought some new shotgun cable to go from dish to new box but getting no signal. so after much faffing about i found that if i connect one of old cables and 1 new cable it works pretty well a bit temperamental,
so is it my cable thats at fault or could it be OCTOLNB its only about 7 years old. just thinking if it was cables it wouldn't work full stop ,
when i check signal on freesat box with 2 new cables it says no/poor signal but if i try it with 1 other cable and new cable both LNB signals and strength is v good
if its the LBN is it easy to swap for new one? I would honestly rather replace LNB than cables do to the fact I've silicone'd in place
please help before i pull rest of hair out
Many thanks in adavance
