Hi guys
Stumbled onto the forum doing a google search trying to solve my current dish problem.
We've recently moved into a new house with a dish on the side - I believe it's an old sky dish. Having plugged our freesat box (Humax Foxsat HD) into the cable it detects no signal what-so-ever.
We're pretty confident the Humax is working, because we took the first one back, and the second one is in the same situation. The cable we have running from the socket to the Humax is also fine (tested on another system).
This has led us to believe the problem is either in the cable running from dish to socket, the dish, or the lnb. We've plugged a signal meter into the socket and it can vary one moment with a really strong signal then instantly drop off to nothing at all. The Humax built in signal guage never shows any signal.
What do you think our problem is likely to be? I've looked at the cable connecting lnb and socket and there doesn't seem to be any obvious problem with it. Does anyone have any suggestion as to what the problem might be...?
Thanks in advance.
