    Hi Guys

    I've got the Skybox F5S. I have it plugged into my sky dish but I can't get the FTA channels. I am shown 'No Signal' message. Could this be an LNB issue or something else? Sadly I've not got a freesat or sky box to test the dish on for the freeview channels. Any pointers would be much appreciated.

    Cheers

    skybox on a sat dish which is used with their satbox has issues,possibly needing a new lnb
    but you say you only have one box so maybe dish has moved.

    try it on someones elses dish and if it works, the dish could just be out of alignment or as kid says the LNB needs to be replaced

    Thanks guys. Is there anything to look for in a LNB or are they all the same? I'll try to borrow my sister's sky box to test the dish. I will update you all on how I get on. Thanks

    Well my Satellite finder & new LNB turned up. I've installed the LNB & re-aligned my dish as it dropped slightly and I can receive all channels now. Many thanks for your advice.
