[QUOTE="richardinalex, post: 514642, member: 176119"] I'm the lucky owner of two separate dishes connected to two different SKY receivers. One is connected to a receiver with SKY card (monthly subscription jobby) - and works fine. The other is connected to a SKY receiver with a Free to View card inserted - picks up BBC3 / BBC4 etc. The one with the Freeview card lost its signal a few months ago - and I've just got around to looking at it (the kids nagging has eventually got through). I thought it had just lots its signal (dish moved) - but nuts etc tight - anyway I connected a sat finder to it - nothing. Took the sat finder and connected it the working dish - sat finder was working OK. So I took the Freeview SKY box and connected it to the working dish - that box worked OK. So I put everything back where it was - hooked up the sat finder to the non functioning dish - loosened the alinment bolts on that dish - and moved the dish around - nothing - no beep - no apparent signal. I've come to the conclusion that there is either - a) fault with the sat cable (from LNB to decoder) or B) fault with the lnb I don't really want to take the lnb of the working dish - primarily because it looks a lot different from the lnb on the non working dish - but more because I don't want to mess up the working system. Do any of you guys have any ideas over possible problems - or ideas on how to test either the lnb or cable (without ripping the cable of the wall and through the house) Answers on the back of a postcard? Thanks Richard [/QUOTE]
