My System: Amstrad DRX400 |
Hi all, new here, be gentle with me  I have been given an Amstrad DRX400 which has been unused for some time. When I connect it to a (definately) working connection it comes up with a message "no satellite signal is being recieved". Im told this might be an easily fixable problem & NOT a fault...Any ideas? Thanx | ||

My System: 3mtr Offset dish. Practically every Sky box made. Quality AV. | Typical causes of this fault are - failure of one or more capacitors in the PSU or faulty tuner unit ( often caused by people doing up the f connector too tight and snapping the inner core in the tuner unit (as connector on box turns round). | ||

My System: 30W,7W,13E,16E,19E & 28E Dishes everywhere Darkbox 2008HD Sly+ V3 | Very unlikely but......... Check that that the default freq has not been changed. Seen it a few times where people change it when trying to add channels. Press Services 4 01 Select 2 Should be default to 11778. Use the red button to reset defaults and save. | ||
