    i have a problem with my sky+ box,
    channels
    355 - chart show
    356 - vault
    357 - B4
    364 - scuzz
    & channel 4 (+1) don't seem to be working at all.keep getting 'no satellite signal been recieved'.
    I rang sky & they said they want €100 for an engineer to come out to take a look.
    strange thing is the above channels work perfect on my normal sky box with is upstairs & gets its signal from the same dish.
    any help would be great.:)

    If you have a dect phone near it, turn if off and move it well away and see if that sorts it
    Known to be a problem.

    well check if any are near the cabling going towards the sky + box.

    Anyway, turn them all off and check just to eliminate.
    then if still a problem check connections.

    Can you try taking your sky box and connecting it to where you sky + box is and see if they show up on that. That will eliminate signals to the box and indicate box itself possibly

    OP I had the exact same prob.... same channels missing. It was a cordless phone placed clost to the sky box caused the problem.

    If the phones aren't close to the box, (including the far side of the wall!), is there any other wireless stuff, like a router or something else?
