[QUOTE="kilrail, post: 1054456, member: 412607"] You guys are obviously more savvy than I am but reading this I can see I have a similar problem or at least my friend has. He bought a new Humax Freesat box 1100s 500gb and has a feed from his neighbour's 1.9mtr Famaval dish. We are in Turre, Almeria in Southern Spain. His neighbour has an older Humax Freesat box which works fine so he assumed his would. I called round to help as he struggles with technology and I thought it would be simple (like another friend who had no signal and hadn't changed the source lol). However, the box just kept searching for a satellite signal before postcode prompt , then said no signal - I did all the usual with no joy. I guessed it was some sort of specific signal problem as in non Freesat mode it picked up loads of channels. I took it to my own house which has a similar set up but exactly the same. I concluded that either something had changed with Freesat signal or it was a faulty unit, in any case as he had no access to the dish, the only option was to send it back and use a non-Freesat box which works fine. As he only had one feed it was probably a waste of money anyway. BUT - here is a question - If you pick up the Freesat signal somewhere on the box, will it then work to a degree in the original setup where it wasn't receiving the signal. I suppose the EPG wouldn't work which defeats the purpose. I understand this could be a really stupid question so please be gentle. [/QUOTE]
