No Signal Fix Cable

[wardyuk1]

Hi, does anyone know how to make one of "no signal fix" cables? I know that there is a resistor or something like that in the middle of the cabling.

more than likely his lnb dont suit the skybox,very very common fault and if using the fix and moving box it might short out and blow the box.

It's just 1 rectifier diode (such as a 1N4001, 1N4002 etc.). The diode is polarised with a white band, so has to be connected the right way round.

Have a look here:-

If you come across the problem best fix is a decent LNB

or buy a better satbox that uses proper internal parts.
