No Satellite Signal - Amstrad Drx 400

construct06

I got a 2nd hand box off ebay. Set up last night, by just putting it where my Pace box was. But although most channels are received fine, certain channels have the: "No satellite signal..."

I think i read somewhere that the problem might be a tuner problem with Amstrad boxes. Anyone else experienced this? I tried all 4 of the frequencies last night and all seem to have good reception.

Paid €80 for the fecking thing?

Help appreciated as i'll get back to seller if its box's fault. My Pace box works fine by the way.

The drx400 can also have problems with the power supply. http://www.digifixltd.co.uk/pdf/DRX400_PSU_probs.pdf

Duff box probabily if the pace doesn't pixellate on any real channel.

turns out, that all channels eventually came

i think maybe may have been sumthing to do with card?

only prob now is 'no satellite signal...' on bbc1 but when i flick up to bbc2 and then back down to bbc1 its fine?

Sounds like a 22kHz fault. Try box on someone elses dish to see if it faulty box or faulty LNB.
