Arriva 120 combo. No power to signal finder

    I have two arriva 120 combo boxes running from a sky satellite dish and aerial. All worked fine until recently. Now saorview works fine and I can pick up cbeebies. All other channels show no signal. I assumed dish had been moved so I purchased a Nikkai satellite finder, watched a few YouTube vids and headed up on to the roof. When I attached the satellite finder it did not show any signs of life. No backlight, not a flicker out of the needle. Which lead me to conclude that there is no power getting to the dish. Both boxes are properly connected and powered up. Does this suggest a problem with the lnb?

    Thanks
    Michael

    No signal on either receiver and no life in either coaxial when I plug in the meter at the dish.

    Thanks

    Sounds like a fault on the coax. Try the sat finder directly on the receiver without the dish feed connected to see if the receiver is outputting volts.
