As already mentioned there is so little information given, nobody could possibly give you a sensible response.

Added to which there is no profile information telling us where you are located, no system information regarding dish type size where it is pointing and when it was last used, if you really expect help then supply the necessary details

sorry for the lack of info ive probley's posted in the wrong place as this setup isnt in a fringe area ive got a mini dish up that works with another reciver so as far as i can tell theres nowt wrong with the cable dish or lnb & its located in the uk pointin at astra 28 if you need any other info please let me know

If the box has been out of use for a long time then it's likely tht it has missed a few software updates. This could cause loss of some channels but not, I would have thought, all of them.

Still, it's worth checking. If you go to services, system setup, system details what is the Operating System Version?

[Tivù]

If the issue is out of date firmware, you may find that the latest version is not available for forced download, and the usual routine in such cases is to apply a great deal of patience: If left powered up (standby will do), it will eventually get the latest firmware automatically - but this can take weeks!

Operating System Version is 1.2s4f1 but i some how dont think this has any thing to do with it as on the signal test page am geting signal strength of well over 1/2 way but no signal quality at all its not locked & network id & transport stream are 0000

If you are absolutely certain you are pointing at 28.2/5E anmd thus picking upt Freesat channels, then assuming there is a good cable connection to the stb i.e. the central core is long enough, then it must be a faulty stb. Why did you stop using it to begin with?.....
