Having had much grief with my digibox recently if feel I
should shre the problem with you all to save someone else
from suffering.
My box kept kicking into standby and even turning it off at the
mains (I put an inline switch in to make it ieasy) did not always
bring ot back up again.
I read all the forums (even Satcure despite it's less than subtle
approach to customers!) and in particular I connected the dish
to my non $ky box and got a perfecrtly good signal.
It was therefore either the power supply, the processor, or the tuner!!
Not prepared to risk the consequences of it going off during ER or
Friends I reluctantly called the man out. A charming elderly (same
as me) gentleman from Crewe duly arrived, pligged his meter in and
agreed that there was a signal. He plugged in his own box and
that did not work either. He swapped out the LNB and everything
now works fine. Proving that one should never jump to conclusions
and those who do it for a living do it better than I do.
Only snag was that the viewing card seemed to have lost some info
and $ky it after I had plugged the phone back in. Of it need a new card
however the card gets switched off from the time of ordering until a
new one is received. Thats technology folks!!
