Analogue is certainly not off-air. Theres been no new (other than those replacing others, so Comedy Central DE, DMAX and Paramount Comedy DE don't count...) channels in some years but the last closure was Arena/Megastore in June 2006 and the last channel worth caring about closing was RBB Berlin way back in 2005.

I'd guess your dish is misaligned - try a digital receiver on it. If not, the box is actually busted.

thanks for the replies guys.when is it due to go off air?i wonder is it worth doing this up or just getting in the digital service.i think i'll go on ebay and buy some parts for it.

2012 was SES's suggested date. Note that Eurosport free on digital has no English sound, thats the biggest reason keep analogue these days here.
