I recently moved into a new apartment. The previous resident left his sky box there but apparently was not working.
I tested the box in a friends apartment and its fine. FTA. It must be a problem with the dish/cabling etc. I remade the connection to the Sky box. But still no luck.
The dish and Lnb are just out of reach of the balcony but i can access the mounting bracket.

Can anyone offer advice on how to check out the dish or would it be simpler and easier to just buy a new dish & lnb?
Any idea of where i can get a new dish and lnb, and how much?
Im in cork. I would prefer to deal with a local company.

You'd probably need a signal meter to help to ensure that the dish is alligned perfectly. I'd say they can be got fairly cheap.

A new dish and LNB would cost about €40
