Skybox F5s. "No signal".

[bottleandahalf]

Hello everyone. I am getting the "No signal" message on a lot of channels including bbc, ITV etc. I have tried all the usual - Channel update, satellite scan. Tried box on 2 different dishes but I am still getting this message on a lot of the channels.
I have tried factory reset, new firmware but still getting the "No signal" message.
Anybody have any idea what is up with the box and can it be fixed?
Thank you

My other F5s is working with it though. No signal fix won't work as it's not a polarity problem though
Thanks

sounds like a dead box if you have tried it on a different setup & its still the same

I've had a problem like this before I bought a number of these boxe from somewhere and two of them had a problem with the tuner or the connection you put the coaxial cable in! What I did was make sure it was the only thing connected to th dish/lnb also the copper wire in the middle of the cable I made very large and it seemed to sort out problem. I just think cause the boxes are mass produced you do get the odd faulty one.
