    My Sky news channel has disappeared and I can't find it with a rescan.
    Any ideas would be appreciated.

    Thanks for reply MICKAH.
    I got the freq.and entered it with a manual scan,no sky news channel.
    I'm wondering might it be a dish problem,but becouse all other channels seem to be ok I do'nt want to go at it unless I have to.

    have you tried loading a current chan file to either of them to see if it is the dish itself?

    No I did not,I don't know how to go about that.
    The fact that both boxes were effected made me think it might be a dish problem

    Hi Crog,i think u have a dish alignment problem.
    the freq.u scanned should also have given u sky2,ssps2,pick.
    if u havnt any of these chlns then u have a dish problem.
    suggest u look at last scanned in Bouquets of the DB500s.and check that u have
    these chlns.
    regards noel
