Skybox F3 - No Signal

[ghtresa]

Hi guys,

I purchased one of these boxes and installed using the guide kindly provided on these forums:

Initially I had some channels working, but now every channel says no signal, including free ones. The only change I made was to set the time, but this has since reset anyway when I unplugged it, so I don't think this is the problem. The SNR seems strangely low (currently 5%) but I have a multi room subscription and have tried all 4 cables (all of which work with other boxes) at different points in the house and there is no change. Any suggestions would be gratefully received! Cheers.

Is it snowing where you are go check your dish being covered in snow

[ghtresa]

Ha ha, that would've been an easy fix, but we've got no snow up here. Thanks anyway.

Hi I had the same problem it was solved it as it was the Sat lead going in to the box was not correct, tighten it or slightly bend the wire.

Thanks mate, cables are attached properly so still no joy. Keep suggestions coming...

Have you tried to plug in a free view box to see if you get a signal with that. ?? just to make sure its not the dish or cables

[adw1991]

ignore that you said in your post you've got sky... its a bit of a strange one

[ghtresa]

Yep, sky+ hd box currently plugged in and giving perfect picture. Thanks.

[ghtresa]

I agree, all I can think is I have accidentally changed something I shouldn't have. If no one has any other suggestions, does anyone know if it is possible to do a full factory reset to the box and I'll start again? Cheers

You Could just flash the software. Did you'r box come with a gift?

[ghtresa]

No gift. I actually found a newer image than the one I flashed. If I re flash, will this effectively restore factory settings?

[ghtresa]

I just re read that you had said software not image. Is there a difference?

have you tried going into antenna set up lnb freq universal (9750-10600) because some of my channels on sky 28e, the signal was dead , anyhow most of them are working now , not all but nearly all, its the lnb freq that might be the problem

[ghtresa]

Thanks again, but that's what it is set at.

In Antenna instalation make sure the lnb power is set to ON
