Question about Sky HD DSI8215 box?

I have received a Thomson DSI8215 Sky HD box but i have a problem, my dish is using a single LNB and i have connected the cable to Input 1 on the Sky box.

Problem being that when i turn it on it finds the EPG and channel listings but when i want to watch a channel the message No satellite Signal being received comes up.

I went into Services and Signal and i have lock and signal on input 1.

Does this receiver need a Twin LNB to even work?

There is a setting in the menu system to use only a single input, you need to locate this and set it to input 1, sorry don't know how to get to it though.

I found it on Sams site.

Press [services] 001 [select] and then choose single LNB input.

Works fine now.
