    F5S - No signal on H channels

    Last night I noticed I have no signal on all H channels. It was working fine yesterday morning.
    I know this is to with with LNB, however I live in flats so this would be hard to fix.

    I have 2 sat input ports in my flat, one I get no signal from at all (Sat 1) and Sat 2, which has been working fine up until now.

    Any ideas?

      If you have another knowing good box (or original box) you could try to rule out whether it's your LNB/dish/cabling. Failing that, can you take the F5s to somewhere else that you know works fine and try it in there.

        I have been playing around trying to get the No Signal channels back to no avail.I backed up to usb and tired factory reset - although I am not getting $ scambled on pay channels (and no signal on Sports etc!) any ideas what I have done incorrect?

          I had exactly the same problem, ended up being a faulty lnb. No way around it apart from replacing it.

            Not got another box, and nowhere else to take it.
            As said I live in a block of flats, I don't know where the communal dish is - although I can see one from my bedroom thats on the perpendicular building joined on to me. Was working Thursday morning then not Thursday night.

            Sounds far too much hassle, I've had a good 8 months with the Skybox, so I've taken to plunge just to get proper Sky installed next weekend, so if its an LNB fault I'm sure I'll find out then!

              Yeah, I'm sure if it's the lnb everyone else would have the same issue even if using a normal sky box? Unless a skybox works differently somehow in receiving channels. But as you said if there's a problem then the sky man should resolve it, you could even use the skybox as a second room

                Noticed a works van with ladders in the street and two guys going back to it. Had tired when I came in from work and still the same, but tried now and working again!
