Hi Guys,
I am newish to Satelite TV although previously installed a new Pace 445n Sky digibox at my parents house and everything went well - recieving only free to air TV.
I have just got a secondhand (ebay) Pace 430n, as lots of people rate it. This sky digibox is for my Mother-in-law who wants free to air channels only. Her house (SW London) already had a Sky mini dish plumbed in when she bought it.
I have plugged everything together and it nearly worked perfectly, however, as soon as I select a channel to watch the system goes scrambled.
I assume the dish is aligned correctly as I get all the channel listings populated with the current programme info, plus I can listen to the radio stations. The card that came with the digibox was obviously from south yorkshire (due to channel 101 set to BBC south Yorks), but I thought that even with the card removed I would get everything, but Channel 4 & 5. With or without the card it doesn't work - rebooting between all attempts.
I appear to be within touching distance or am I? Do I just need a code to let me reset the digibox to a "new" state, do I need to do a forced software upgrade - it was sold as having had this done, but who knows.
Do I have to get Sky involved and register for a new card?
Could anyone suggest a way forward. All help would be appreciated.
Thank you in advance,
Ben.
