[QUOTE="mickie372000, post: 919681, member: 403864"] Hi everyone, Got an issue that's bugging me at the minute.. Recently my Sky+HD box upstairs displayed the "No Satellite Signal" message randomely. It's been showing about 80% quality and 85-90% strength before. There have been no storms in the area. Checked downstairs and everything is fine as usual. At first I switched the boxes around the downstairs box was now upstairs, and the switched box also showed no signal, while now the bedroom box now said really good signal. One thing i did notice when plugging the F connectors back in, was a tiny static flash between the connector and the socket on the back of the box. I switched the cables on the lnb outside, no change. I replaced the cable outside as I thought maybe there would be a break or corrosion, and also wanted to re-route the cable anyway, but to no avail. I then thought maybe the lnb is shot so I bought a Zinwell (14345) J4LS lnb. Fitted that this afternoon but still no joy at all. Meanwhile, the downstairs is still absolutely fine. Signal strength is about 90% and quality is about 80% on inputs 1 and 2 downstairs, and 0% not locked upstairs. I made sure everything is tight and correct. Sods law that a Sky engineer installed the cables for downstairs and I did the upstairs (but he did not replace my existing lnb or install the box when he installed Sky - I did that earlier that year). Does anybody have any ideas as to what's going on? Thanks! [/QUOTE]
