    Skybox f3 no signal or box dead??

    Three days ago I saw a lot of freeze on my box so I thought maybe the problem is just normal or because of the snow, so yesterday when I switched on the tv seems to get no signal in all channel, I decided to delete all satellite and trying to rescan everything again even AJ SKY LIST upgrade new one as well, so after that I can't get anything even single tv when I search I found nothing and my dish outside is working fine because am using motorised dish so I have got no idea now what should I do or my box is completely dead?? Any advice please please, also I have attached few pictures....also on the Network Local Setting DHCP suppose to be off or on??

    Are you sure theres nothing wrong with your dish? Does it still actually move, have you checked the cable termination into the motor, and also the terminations from motor to LNB, maybe theres been some water ingress..

      Dish is working fine without any problem at all, also now when I install that AJ channel list am getting 76 redio only and some of them they are working fine and I can't get even single tv channel only redio so I have got no idea, also my dish is moving without any problem....

          That is a good questions, actual when I add the AJ channel list and try to rescan I can see the dish is moving outside and is going different direction, then is showing high quality after that stopped, yesterday I was getting hotbird but now even hotbird is not working as well, so you think the problem might be firmware or dish??why am getting only redio instead of tv??

              Thank you a lot, ok I have checked that one seems like I did set to redio only, so now I have got TV channels as well, but seems my dish is moving but am not getting any signal, because now I have AJ Channel list I have set to discq 1.0 and not USALS when am trying to set to USALS dish is moving but is not giving me any signal... and all channel showing No signal, so what should I do??

                Have you got the correct LOG and LAT for your location entered in your box settings?

                  Actual I never use LONG and LAT at all, I normally use USALS then dish is moving then everything is scanned that's all, but at the moment I have checked in the LONG and LAT showing 0.000 so do I really need this??and dish is moving why am not getting any signal??

                    You need to enter your LOG and LAT if you're using USALS
