FTA Configuration

    Hi
    I have my 2nd hand sky box connected up to my dish. I have quad lnb but no second sky card.

    I was under the impression that I can still all fta channels on this second box. When I connect it up I can see the sky digital menu system but no channles.

    Do I need to add them manually or should it pick them all up?

    It should work. Check Services |Setup | Signal to see if you are connected.

    No channels at all when you press Guide | All Channels ?


    You should have all these:

    Ok I can see them sometimes. Sometimes when I switch my box on it says no channels detected, but if I restart it it shows channesl


    Then box is very slow and sometimes hangs, or goes to standby after a minute or so.#



    I know this might seem like a stupid question, but has the box had it? I got it second hand.

    It is a pace 2200. If I got a newer model, would it be better? Is this model paticlarly bad?

    It is VERY old.

    If it was a 2500 I would say a tuner fault (£18.50 plus post plus install charge). It could be tuner or PSU.

    A Pace 2200 is hardly worth fixing as it will be very slow anyway with the newer SW.

    I don't think it is a particularly bad Model. Repair could be 60 Euro to 120 Euro assuming anyone will do it. Postage is about 8 Euro postage each way excluding packing cost for box without remote & cable.
