Cannot recieve satellite signal

slash2000

Hi,

I have a bit of a noodle scratcher...

I upgraded to sky+ and decided to put the old sky box in the bedroom. I wired up the sky box to the quad lnb and cannot receive a signal. I've tested the cable for signal and continuity and its fine. I have even borrowed another receiver but no luck

Any comments or suggestions?

Thanks

Tony

Try different outputs on the quad lnb

I did but no luck, i even swapped them with outputs being used by sky+ (which works fine) and still nothing! Its a trickey one

So just to be clear have you put the box in place of the sky + box and it works ok? If this is the case it points to a cable issue, I know you did a continuity check but they may not be passing RF correctly. Have the F connections been terminated correctly?

Yeah the sky box is working fine, i thought it may be an issue with the cable so i hooked the sat finder between the sky box and cable (no sure if this works!) and it was reading a strong signal.

Ok there must be an rf problem somewhere along the cable or an F connector issue.

Got it going, turns out it was a bad terminated F connection! Thanks for the help Tony

My pleasure, glad you got it going.
