Hi,
Hope someone can advise me!
Got a SkyHD box (one of the newer smaller ones (1Tb?), had it 2 years) as my main box (dual feed) and an upgraded power supply Thomson SkyHD "original" box as a multiroom box on a single feed.
On the newer small SkyHD box we have just started losing Input 1 and hence the picture on pretty much every channel bar Sky News (Sky News is always ok).
I've done the following;
a) Swap the sat cable connections over at the Sky box but its lost input 1 (only) on both, this makes me think the cable isnt at fault as the fault doesnt affect input 2 (the fault hasnt followed when i've swapped the cable around).
b) Forced software download - no affect, well it worked OK for a few minutes then lost the channels again.
c) Reset the LNB via the engineers menu on the Sky box, again worked for a few minutes then lost the signal.
Occasionally the channels come back on but only stay on for 30 seconds and have lots of pixelisation coming and going before it loses it completely.
The multiroom box is fine, no problems at all! This leads me to believe the LNB hasnt been knocked out of alignment, would you agree?
The signal quality/strength are both well over 50% on both inputs when its working, obviously input 1 goes to zero/not locked when the channels are lost.
Is it likely to be the LNB or the box?
Note i cancelled my Sky subs last month and they expired 10 days ago so i'm on Free to view/air channels only at the moment.
Thanks for any advice.
