Hope someone can help me please.
Moved into a property 18 months ago. There was no TV aerial at the property, just a satellite dish. There was a twin cable from the satellite dish into the house and we connected one of the twin cables into the aerial socket on the TV using an adapter. The TV worked fine for 12 months. We didn't have any kind of top box (Freeview, Freesat, etc).
Now for the last few months, no TV channels are found on the TV. We have connected a different TV to the satellite twin cable (same methods as before) but still no TV channels. We have retuned/scanned both TVs but still no channels were found.
We have also connected a Freesat box to the twin cable from the dish then connected to the TV, but again no channels are found.
I have checked the twin cable at the satellite dish and both seem to be connected securely.
My conclusion is either the satellite dish has developed a fault or the cable from the satellite dish has developed a fault.
Does this sound correct or am I missing something obvious? I don't know much about this kind of thing, but I assume that a dish can not be deactivated by Sky (or whoever), can it?
