Other things you can try is going into 'System Setup' and one of the options will show the satalite signal etc.. Installer mode is also 'System Setting' + 010 + Select (i think). You could try a reset from there. If all else fails

Ok seems like few know the full reset method of a sky box.

Leave it unplugged for about 30seconds, then hold the 'Back Up' button on the box and plug it back in, keep holding the button down untill all three lights come one and a message on screen saying that the box software is being upgraded.

Now make sure that the sat cable is installed first properly.

I take no responsability if you box fails to work properly after the full reset method. I have done it several times and never had a problem myself though. But i has had to be done once as my box went all haywire.

DO NOT DO THIS

He has no satellite signal! it wont be able to download new software! :roll:

Will leave the box stuck in update mode.

Err, thats why i said check first that its connected. Saying all that the tuner in the box could have gone pop or the LNB is gone or with all this wind the dish may have moved

It happened to me where it said there was no satalite signal, and i had to reload the software to sort it out.

The probability of it being a software error is much smaller than it being a fault in other areas. If the other areas are not ruled out first he runs the risk of having his box stuck in update mode.

The software reload feature you talk about is not commonly known about because it is there for engineers, not end users - to prevent problems like this happening.

last night i did a signal test & the 2 bars were blank..............this morning they are both betwwen 60-75%?? but its still saying no signal :shock: the code in the corner is 36 if this helps?

Go outside and smack the satellite dish with a broom handle, if it don't work your hitting it the wrong way. :lol: :lol:

i might :roll:

did you try wiping the card? Seriously - this has worked for us several times over the last week since the bad weather, a friend of ours reckons it is static affecting the card?. worth a try?
