no sat signal

[abertawe1]

hi all ive got a bit of a problem with my freesat it was working perfectly until a few weeeks ago when the box was saying no signal so i took the box to a relatives that was working fine tried a sattellite box from my fathers that also said no sat signal so i fitted a new lnb set the dish up with sat finder which says i have got the strongest signal but still says no signal on free sat box and sky box any iideas ?:idea:

lm not sure about freesat but l think l remember u have to change to disc slightly , its not 100% to the same as sky .u might be looking at 19e ? l might be wrong here Aiming a dish at Astra 2. (http://www.satelliteforcaravans.co.uk/bearings.htm)

if its a cheap satfinder it will only tell you your on a sat but not which,one has the dish moved from when it last worked?
forget the sat finder use the box its self to find the sat put it on a channel you know is working then slowly move the dish L/R til signal maxed then (if neccessary) move the dish up/down to max the signal again.If everthing has been moved since it last worked you may have to do both to get it back.

freesat is the same as sky 28.2e and if dead on 2 dishs then box at fault

also try a box at your house if still dead after a new lnb, check wires

Totally agree, sat meters are a waste of time and money. You cant beat the good old fashioned way of finding satellites ie using your hands and eyes. You also learn a lot about satellites this way as well.
