    Sky Box F5

    Hi Guys, Can anyone help with this issue I have, I occasionally dont get any movie channels other than showcase, Then on other occasions I have them all no problem.
    I also have an issue with sky sports 2, Most of the time the picture is unwatchable due to interference, then at other times its ok.
    I have tried the latest channel list etc but nothing seems to make a difference. As I say at other random times every channel is perfect, Anyone have any ideas?

    what does it say on screen, scrambled or no signal? the more info you can provide the easier it is to help.

    could be issue with the sat cable, have a look its not come loose from the dish and theres no brek it in (damaged cable).

      $ly Showcase is the only $ly movie channel on a horizontal transponder. All the others are on a vertical transponder.

      Do you have another box (perhaps a $ly+ box) connected to the same LNB? Do you live in a flat with a communal dish?

      If so, then you may need the "no signal fix" from ebay. This will cure the problem of "no signal" on channels using vertical transponders.

      On the occasions when you don't get $ly movies, can you get other channels on vertical transponders (such as Gold, Sony TV, Eden).

        Yes I have another Sly box connected to the dish, as I said some times all channels are there but more often than not I have only showcase on the movies, and very rarely have sky sports 2.

          Disconnect the 2nd box...this will more than likely fix the problem

            Unfortunately the 2nd box is used by the Mrs upstairs so I cant disconnect it. I have purchased 1 of these no signal fix connectors so I will give that a go tonight.

              it could be the 'no signal fix' is a waste of money.
              like 'P&D' said your beter off disconnecting slybox as it will interfere. If you are geting a signal and channels work then the fix is defo a waste of money, the 'no signal fix' is only good for boxes that DONT get signal 'at all' on some channels: ch 5. etc:

                If you just disconnect it temporarily, it will show if it is the $ly+ box that's causing the problem.

                The "no signal fix" should work if you get a "no signal" message on channels on vertical transponders.

                  Still no information with what you see onscreen as asked by other members, however try a different emulator ! not allowed to say what it actually is on here so google that.
