Last night my Sky+HD box updated to the 'new menu' - now when I switch on the box I have 'No satellite signal received' on all channels.
The Signal Strength and quality are 100%.
Have tried disconnecting power and restarting - nothing.

The box is a Sky + HD Samsung.
Any ideas gratefully received ....

Welcome to the forum jillyxxxx

Well I do not have either sky+ or HD however it sounds like you have not got a good software download. I am assuming the procedure is still the same with sky+ HD stb to try to force an update:-
Power off by removing power press backup button, hold and power on until 3 lights, then download should begin and you let go of backup button.


this thread also seems to have some tips

How many feeds do you have?

Single Feed Mode springs to mind.

Single Feed Mode.

> Make sure feed is plugged into Dish Input 1
> Press Services
> Press Right Arrow and highlight Settings
> Press Down Arrow and highlight Picture
> Press 01 Select
> The Installer setup tab will now appear
> Scroll down and select the Single Feed Mode option
> Press the Right Arrow and change it from OFF to ON
> Press the Green Button to Save the settings, press select

Let the box reboot and your done :)

I have dual feed and new epg and only have signal on one input. When i reset the signal shows on the other input.
Unfortunately i can't get the default transponder 11.778 so i can't do a full download.
Any ideas?
Thanks
