Can't get any channels on Spark or Enigma

    I have been using my satellite box to view fta channels on Spark and Enigma for a few years on my Amiko Alien 2

    A few days ago none of the channels appeared. I did an astra rescan but still nothing showed. I checked the satellite dish and it is rigid so it hasn't moved. Wires in the LNB are secure as are the connections in the back of the box.

    Any ideas. I don't want to go to the expense of a new box/calling out a Satellite engineer if I can help it.

    Thanks

    Has your tv got a sat tuner? You could plug in an aerial into the box and see if you can pick up saorview?

    What does the signal finder strength say?

    I know we are in Covid times but is there a neighbour you could borrow their box to try in your setup or give them yours to try in theirs?
