I have a humax hd 1000s and cannot get a satellite signal for freesat. My Panasonic tv's can pick up a signal but they can only get BBC London (I live in Newcastle) and they do not pick up itv hd.
The humax does not pick up a signal on any of my cables. My dish is quite old (over 8 years old). Why can my tv's get a satellite signal but my humax box won't?

Your TV may not have a Freesat receiver but a simple FTA (free to air) receiver built in. This may explain why you are getting BBC 1 London. Presumably you get BBC2, ITV, etc? WRGT HD channels - does it get any at all? It may not have an HD tuner if it doesn't.

Can't explain why the Humax doesn't pick up any channels at all ATM. Maybe with a bit more information it'll become clearer. Is it possible the Humax is faulty? Has it worked anywhere else before? Can you try it somewhere else that has a satellite dish feed that is currently working with another receiver?

Ok , never heard of a Humax HD 1000s , there is a HB 1000s or HDR 1000s , either way if it's a Freesat receiver it requires a certain transponder to get the signal from before scanning so if your dish is slightly out of alignment the TV could still get some channels but not the Freesat box .

Sadly John Mcc hasn't been back to post any further information since he posed the question last February. Maybe he found the answer, maybe he didn't, we just don't know.

A little less analogue, and a lot more crap.

If the problem was with the installation somehow then that wouldn't have solved the problem. Like I said, we just don't know.
