Recently got given a Thompson Sky box and (separately) a Sky mini dish.
Last weekend, I made a temporary dish installation in the porch, used a signal strength meter to find the satellite, and was amazed to find that I could receive channels ! Now, I have had an old analogue dish up on the roof for many years and (maybe stupidly in retrospect !) so I connected the Sky box to see if I could pick anything up from the old Astra sat - nothing ! Today, I started fitting the sky mini dish up on the roof (where the coax comes down and therefore convenient) Used the signal strength meter and believe that I have aligned it to the Sky sat. Went down and looked to see if I had any channels - nothing ! Is it possible that I've damaged the box through connecting the old analogue dish ?
