Help, I have changed to sky+, and used the old digital lnb on a dish pointing to astra 1 linked to my old digibox, but all I am getting is no satellite signal being recieved. Where am I going wrong please?

The sky lnb is not ideal for a round dish as the lnb is not engineered for a circular shape. However, you should get *something* off it! You will need to go through the Add Channel palaver to get any channels on the box.

on the signal test I have nothing either or signal strength, would this show the astra signal, or should I get a new lnb and if so which one? I did have the analogue reciever set to this dish so know that is ok

You wont get any signal strength unless you change the transponder frequency - the digibox is looking for the "default" frequency which is only applicable to Astra 2
