no it doesnt make any difference which firmware is on your box , the january one is fine

what does matter is that your usals are set correctly for your location , such that you pick up 0.8 west ok

or if using diseqc v1.2 you will have to locate and store each satellite yourself

if your dish has moved you may have to adjust the longitude by up to say 2 degrees either way until you find your reference satellite

if you have a sly dish , test the box on a sat feed using 28e and ensure bbc and itv are ok , that then rules out the box

then you will have to connect to your motor and decide what went wrong, but as the weather has been ok recently I cannot see that the dish and motor have been blown off line

so its more likely to be a usals problem

i cant get no itv or bbc channels on at all it says no or bad signal

i cant get no itv or bbc channels on at all it says no or bad signal

which indicates to me that the dish is not pointed at 28.2 east

try it on a fixed dish feed like a sly feed , and check bbc and itv again

is there an option that sat cable was plugged into wrong connector?

[jon48]

thanks guys for replying i dont have another sky feed to try it on and there is no other option on the box to feed it it in

Was your dish/motor set up working on a previous receiver?
Or have you jsut set it up?

[jon48]

yes m8 it was working yesterday on this 1 all i did was move to hispasat and i moved back to 28.2 east then i lost the signals on all of sats it must be a dish problem it was working fine yesterday

[jon48]

when i press a channel number it says moving to 28.2 east and it doesnt find anything

like I said earlier , it appears its misaligned

I trust you have turned the blade off and back on again using the rear switch ? (a full reset)

just because it says its moving doesnt mean the motor is actually moving , check by looking at the motor itself

[jon48]

ive done that m8 like u said i think its misaligned do i have to get the sat man out or is it something i can do

[ramjet]

thanks guys for replying i dont have another sky feed to try it on and there is no other option on the box to feed it it in

you are wrong there , the blade has a coax input and a coax output , one above the other on the back of the box (a loopthrough)

obviously the cable should be in the top one (lnb input)

[jon48]

yes sorry it is in the top 1

[ramjet]

ive done that m8 like u said i think its misaligned do i have to get the sat man out or is it something i can do

you cannot even do the basics that I have asked you to do , so no I dont think its something you can do as you dont have the necessary skills or knowhow and havent even tested the box on a sly feed (anybodys sly feed would do)

have you tried turning it off and back on ?

[jon48]

ok m8 will try to test it on another feed and yes ive turned it off at the back
