++ No Signal! ++

[mick2me]

I havent used my Sat receiver (SL65) for some months, and have found that there is no signal?

I connected a different receiver (SL65/12) and cable, and still no signal.

And Damn!, I cant find the satfinder (satfinder-finder anyone?)

I dont think the dish has moved?

Do LNB's go down?

Might have to try another one.

Any advice?

Could be the LNB, possibly the dish has moved in the horizontal or vertical plane, also worth checking the connections.

Thank You

Yes connections seem fine.

Wont take long to swap the LNB, that I got with the SL65/12 kit.

Now where is that Sat Finder!

If you can't find the sat finder, a portable telly connected to the rf output of the receiver works a treat, using the receivers in-built meter. And you can check you are on the correct satellite at the same time.

Thanks Robbo for that tip

Tried changing the cable, LNB, receiver, still no signal.

Looks like the dish has moved?

Off to work soon, give it a bash later.

Now wheres the spanners?

Seeing how there were some pretty strong gusts last night, I would say it's the dish being blown out of alignment, but it's easy to rectify, just nudge it back and give the bolts a good tighten up (but if it's a plastic mount on the back of the dish, it'll probably not help for long as they come loose easily)...
