Skybox Problem.

[bez]

I have two skybox F5S one down stairs one upstairs the one upstairs receives all channels just fine but the one down stairs will loose the signal on certain channels such as Sky Showcase thought the problem was satellite or wire I then tried switching the box down stairs for the one up stairs and using the upstairs box all the channels work fine so it seems to be something to do with the box. any ideas guys bit weird that one box gets all channels but the other doesn't even though there on the same Arial.

is the channel list upto date ??

Yep. Sounds like he might need the "no signal fix".

bez...if you noticed that you were missing channels while both boxes were turned on at the same time, try switching off the box that is working OK, & see if the non working channels re-appear on the other box.

But how would I get both boxes to work.

IF your problem only exists when both boxes are on at the same time, then search Ebay for "no signal fix".

Well I turned my box off but down stairs still doesn't get Discovery +1 Sky Showcase ect.

I am having exactly the same problem, both boxes worked fine up until last week, whether both on at same time or only 1 on. skybox F5s & F5. Firmware & channel lists all updated.

Like someone has said before by a no signal fix!
Or buy a more expensive LNB!

It may still be worth trying the "no signal fix", but in all the previous cases I have read about, it only seems to work if the problem is caused by having 2 boxes on at the same time.

They are only a few quid though, so might still be worth a try.
