My System: 85 cm dish Pace digibox Sky viewing card |
As a new member I realise my question(s) may have been answered in previous threads, so please have patience. I live in Malmö, S Sweden during the last 3-4 months I have lost the following channels: C4 C4+1 MUFC (subscription paid) E4 (Irish link) Scifi (but not Scifi +1) All living channels Watch TV (but not Watch TV +1) In addition I have pixilation problems with Sky 1 (takes 1/2 hr to put right) I have an original sky digibox (Pace) that my brother sent to me almost 10 yrs ago and subscribe to Sky Sports package through the UK. As yet Sky Sports, Sky 2,3 Ch 5 US 5, Virgin and others work fine. My question is whether the loss of channels is due to change of satellite or a hardware problem (larger/newer dish) digibox, Lnb etc or a combination of both? | ||

My System: Planning on using a 1.8m dish to recieve astra 2d | I would try changing the LNB first, if that is no help then change the coax cable. especially if the coax has been in use for over 10 years it has certainly degraded since it has been installed. | ||

My System: 85 cm dish Pace digibox Sky viewing card | Tried this frequency and to my surprise I managed to receive reception to all the C4 and E4 alternatives, the only problem being that it takes up to a half hour for the picture to settle down without pixilation problems etc. This problem may be because the signal seems to be on the weak side. Can weak signal be fixed with improved hardware? | ||

My System: 85 cm dish Pace digibox Sky viewing card | Thanks for your reply, I have contacted my brother in the uk in an attempt to utilise Sky's £99 offer for a sky+ digibox, however the insist on a £60 installation by their engineer. Can you suggest a Pace box or alternative that works in S Sweden. It's not necessary for it to perform sky + functions as I have a dvd with hard disc which works adequately. Can you also suggest where to buy a box, my son is studying in m/cr and is coming back for xmas. Your help would be much appreciated. | ||
