Skybox F3 alive but dead

[The Reaper]

My Skybox F3 HD says it's alive but no pics to tv.
Done the usual cables/power etc but nothing on tv screen.
Can't access the box menu because of no pics.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks.
Reaper.

PS---my DM7020s works perfect so definitely prob with Skybox.

Isn't there a button on remote that changes frequency V-format I think try that.
If it aint that in settings you can change from rgb to ypbrpr or something like that. Ive not got a box to check I'm afraid

Yes. V format button. Keep pressing it slowly until the right video format shows and pic comes up.

Sorry --no v-format button on this remote. Change of format is in menu but can't see menu because no signal to tv screen.

Menu- system setup - Tv settings and adjust video resolution till you get picture

I have had a similar problem before. it turned out to be a faulty HDMi port on the box. See if it works using a scart lead.

No scart port on F3.

Use the red white and yellow or just the yellow to yellow to get the video to the tv then you can go into settings and try the Video Output.

If you have the remote that came with the box it will have a V-Format button just below the OK button.
