SkyBox F5s - No Signal

[Dick Dastardley]

Skybox F5s working perfectly earlier today, now shows "No Signal" on all Channels. Time and date is wrong (showing 28/10/2015) No YouTube, but can get weather. Just got a certain new thingymajig from a new vendor that has been working well for the last few days....Now this, never had this before. Anyone have any ideas what could be wrong or/and how to fix? Any help greatly appreciated.

*EDIT* Checked the TP list all channels showing the same: Signal Intensity 45% - Signal Quality 10%

Have checked all the cables, Sat cable going into the box and at the dish and all seems ok....nothing loose.

Anybody?.......Just looking for some things I could check, or if anyone has had the same problem and was able to solve it. Was working in the morning....turned off the tv......turned the tv back on in the afternoon and suddenly evry channel has the "No Signal" blue screen.

Result!!......After reading some other posts on this "No Signal" topic it apparently is a dish alignment, faulty LNB, or cable from LNB to box problem most of the time.....particularly if you are receiving no channels at all....even free to view channels, which was the problem I had. I got the ladder out, checked the alignment of my dish in comparison with several neighbours dishes and noticed it was a good bit out...an easy enough fix. I pulled the dish into a similar alignment to theirs checked the TP list using menu>Installation and noticed that after the dish tweak my Signal Intensity was at 88% from the previous 45% and the Signal Quality had risen from 10% to 77%.....now I don't know if these are great numbers, maybe I could have got better results If I had the same device that SLY engineers use to align dishes.....All I know is that my Skybox f5s is now back working normally.....and once again (for now) all is well in my world.

I hope this helps anyone else with a similar problem.~
