sky dish
humax hd box and reorder

Decided to splashout and replace my ageing SkyBox (Amstrad -10 years and still going strong) with a Humax FoxSat -HDR and switch to FreeSat channels as opposed to the raft of Free to Air channels on SKY.
The instruction claim that if you have a working SKY rig-- just uplug your SkyBox and plug in the Humax and follow the instructions - well. it doesn't work!
Cuurently have no second cable running from the dish to allow the second channel record facility so put a loop cable in the box as per instructions - still the same problem.
The box fires up and takes me through the steps until it comes to the signal search and then always say "no signal detected" !!!
Put the SkyBox back in and .....no problems - perfect
What am I not doing wrong ? Seemed to good to be true and it is !
