    try unplugging the provider cable from the box and plug it into the back of the tv if you get no channels its prob down for maintenance or somethin.

    more than likely you have been disconnected for some reason you should have a signal strength indicator on your box you could try looking at that before you mess with the box.

    No signal strength at all. I was told that n*l had someone going round peeping in your windows to see if they could see any boxes, that couldn't be true, lol, could it?

    Take the cable out of the box plug it directly into the tv if you have channels on the tv the problem is with your box

    if you have no channels after you do this then you know its the cable has been disconnected this is the easiest way and the most reliable
