harryhill Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 This morning my SKY box came up with "no satellite signal is being recieved". I have tried turning it on and off several times and checked the back of the box and the dish looks ok. Anyone have any ideas what could be wrong with it? I am going to ring SKY if i cannot get it sorted but they take 4-5 days to come out to sort it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

viking Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 Phone Sky and they will talk you through all sorts of things to press on your remote. Failing that it is a £65 call out. Our problem was just that we had the upstairs window open (Near the dish) when it was warm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeP Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 Sometimes you have to turn the box off in JUST teh right way.... Unplug the box, wait a couple of minues. Now plug it back in, but DON'T turn it back on. Wait one minute - 60 seconds (Sky say 30 but leave it for 60) Then turn it on. If you don't get anything now, then it might be worth checking that the polarisation and similar settings are correct. these are on one of the menus of the system, but I can't quite remember where. Hope this helps in some way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xircon Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 Mine did the same this morning - do what JoeP says it works. Powering the box via the remote justs puts the unit into standby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
