Can anybody help...

We have just upgraded from a normal sky box to a Free sat HD Hymax 500gb box. i have 2 lines into the back of the box, from the sat dish... however we are unable to record one channel and watch another. Or we can but it is limited service/ channels.......

The trouble shooting states that we may need another LNB...the current one is a quad but it is quite old 10 - 12.75ghz.... do i need to buy a new one?... they are only a about £6 but if i don't need to get one.... the current cables are connected into the two ports on the dish on the left...(do i need to alternate them or something?.... if thats any help..)

Oh i have checked and tightened all the connections


any
advise would be appreciated!

regards

If you have tried the Foxsat out with a single feed or it has for any reason been used in single feed mode, you'll need to carry out a Factory Reset.

It should then detect you have two feeds connected and should be ok.

If that doesn't work, try checking each single feed in turn to establish which ones work, then having identified two that do, connect them up, Factory Reset the box again and off you go.

Many thanks...

i have identified that one of the cables was not functioning rather than Box or LNB... will just reconnect a new cable....

Note to others..if i can diagnose an issue.... (with great advise...)anyone can!! many thanks
 
Well done ..... It's usually something simple.

But you'll more than likely have to Factory Reset as the box will probably have set itself up in single feed mode.
