Hello all,

please help me.
I have two dishes looking at eurobird 9 and astra 28.5. I was using a Diseqc switch to get both into a single receiver. I have humax pvr and fortecstar hd. the latter hooked thru the LNB out of Humax. Everything was working perfectly for the past 1 year, until this evening. I was watching BBC HD thru freesat thru fortec star. I went upto turn a light and the bloody fortec star turned off as its plug was loose. I pushed it in and it came alive, but with no signal. I tried both the STBs for both the satellites with no joy. There is absolutely no signal. Therefore i got into the attic and disconnected the DiseQc and connected each LNB straight thru, but no signal. Please help. Have i ruined the LNBs?
or have i burnt both the boxes!
Many thanks in advance.

The only way to tell what has happened is to test your receivers on another setup, try connecting them to a friends, or families, dish set up, even if it's just Sky.
If they're working you know that the problem lies with the LNB's.
I'm surprised everything has stopped working, from the information you've provided, as simply unplugging the receiver shouldn't cause any major problems.

thank you michka. The root of the problem was something down the line. It was just a loose F-Connector feeding the Humax.I must have moved it when i tried to switch the light on. Everything is working great now.
