          ...but all the $ channels work when the $ly box is switched off!

          This sounds like a unique problem. Somehow your $ly box is interfering with your internet connection by the sounds of it? The "no signal fix" doesn't differentiate between FTA & $ channels, it allows the channels on the vertical transponders to be received when the $ly box is used at the same time.

          How is your F5 connected to the internet?

          Are you sure that ALL FTA work & ALL $ channels don't work when the $ly box is on?

              The other possibility is if the Sly Box is also connected to the internet, there could be a clash of IPs.

              If you Sly Box has an ethernet connected try taking it out.

                There's only a cable going into the back of that from the phone line.

                  Does your internet work OK on your pc/laptop when the $ly box is on downstairs?

                  Have you checked the status of your gift when the $ channels are not working? Does it say online?

                    Don't understand how there could be a clash of IPs as router allocates IPs dynamically using its built-in DHCP server.

                      I have an F5 and had no issues with it until I used the loop feature of the F5 to feed my $ky box and had plans on just only ever having one on at any one given time.

                      However, I soon discovered some channels lost the signal (ie 5% signal) on my F5 even though the $ky box was on standby and even occasionally problem with $ky box recording would fail randomly stating lost signal as the cause.

                      I narrowed the failure/no signal problem to the loop feature because as soon as unscrewed feed from F5 to $ky box, the signal went back to normal on my F5 even though the $ky box was in standby at the time.

                      I have ordered some coax so I can have a dedicated feed from dish/LNB to the F5, and separate dedicated feeds to $ky box. This will still leave me with one spare feed at the LNB for future use.

                      yupyaa, are you using the loop feature of the F5 in which case try, whilst viewing a no signal channel, just unscrewing the loop feed and see if signal returns.

                          Do you use the loop feature of the F5 to feed another box ie $ky box.

                            Nope I'm not using the loop atal,

                            As I stated I have a quad lnb, two cables are running to the $lybox downstairs . And a seperate cable running to the f5 in my room. There's a spare slot on the lnb.... Strange y it won't work.

                              Buy the fix it will fix your problem

                              it sounds like a power drop from the lnb when both boxes are connected

                              if the sly box works when the F5 is off and unplugged & vise a versa when the F5 is on sly box is off

                              leave the sly box on but disconnect the cable's from the lnb then check the F5 see if your getting the channels if so

                              plug the sly cables back in & i will bet you the F5 channels will vanish

                                Iv searched eBay for the fix but it's not on it. The only one on it only works if your gettin the no signal on some channels, but in my case Im gettin it on them all.

                                Anyone no anybody that makes the fix??
