Hi all
New to the forum hoping to solve this issue without calling out an engineer, moved in to our house a couple of years ago and inherited an old Sky dish and Box had no intention of subscribing to Sky just used the Box to watch a few free to view channels and regular TV through, a couple of week back the remote started to play up not selecting channels etc then stopped working all together installed new batteries and still no go, not long after got the No Satellite Signal is being received thought it might be the Box itself which was an old box ( first image attached ) i also checked the dish itself which as we live near the coast was severely rusted so i thought best option all round was to replace the whole system, i purchased a new Zone 1 Dish c/w a Quad LNB ( 2nd image attached ) and also purchased a used Sky + HD box ( 3rd image attached ) , i have since installed the new dish and aligned it using a Satellite Signal Meter which hopefully should be ok, i have checked all the cables with a multimeter and all are showing fine i have cut back and refitted all the F Plug connectors, i have changed the box settings to single feed mode, refitted the cables switched on and the same No Satellite Signal is being received message has appeared, i have gone in to settings on the menu and there is nothing showing on the signal bar and Input 1 Lock Indicator is showing Not Locked , hope i have given enough info for someone to advise on what the issue may be, forgot to mention is there any particular socket on the LNB that i need to connect the cable in to only they are not numbered as shown on the last image
