Poblem installing sky

    Here is the problem...

    I am try to setup a sky dish (new 65cm with a thomson lnb) and digibox (Grundig GDS200 bought off ebay). I can get a signal on a signal tester but on the digibox signal test I get nothing (on either the signal strength or quality). The cable is about 5~7 meters and checks ok with a multimeter (no short / resistance of about 2Ω).

    From what I have read online I should be getting some signal once i am point at up in the air at all at all but there is not a sausage.

    I am going to check the digibox, but if that works what should i be looking at next ?

    your meter may be giving you a signal from the wrong satellite, there are several which it will react to
