[QUOTE="alan-77, post: 845320, member: 399968"] I have recently got myself a sky hd+ box, i got one from Amazon but i then realised that my old dish was not suitable as it only had one feed on the LNB, so i got a new dish from ebay, I also got one of those satellite finders the cheaper ones. I have installed the sky hd+ box no problems with my existing dish, which is located on the chimney, i have put the new dish on the back wall of my house, this is where everyone else down the road has theirs, this is better for me anyway as it is easier to remove the snow from it in the winter. Now the problem is that i cannot get a signal from the new dish to the hd+ box, the dish is lined up with next-doors, i have also got 99% on the digital readout on my satellite finder but, nothing shows up on the signal menu on the hd+ box, i get no signal at all, i have moved the dish all over the place & nothing makes any difference. I have followed some videos on YouTube like this one [URL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=53w7QRNFmLY"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=53w7QRNFmLY[/URL] It looks so simple & i thought it cannot be that hard to do, but nothing i have tried works, i have tried the signal meter on the existing cable that goes to the dish on the chimney & i get the same readings, i have gone into the hidden menu of the hd+ box but i couldn't find anything to change. Can someone help please ? The finder i have got is one of these [URL="http://goo.gl/IA8IG"]http://goo.gl/IA8IG[/URL] [/QUOTE]
