F5 Skybox some channels works, other say No Signal

[suds]

Hi

I just put a F5 skybox at home, on my satellite, which has a Quad LNB on it, I used three of the connections. The problem I am have is sky sports 1234 are working, but movie channels are say NO Signal so too are some other channels. I used one of the other wires as to check if it was the wire that was causing the issue but the same thing occurs some channels come through and others don't. I switch the LNB of from the F5 box which then turn all the channels off, so I then which it back on. I have three boxes connect to the Satellite which one is the F5 box, two other boxes are original sky boxes. Could this be a voltage issue, is there away to repair this issue? Any help would be appreciated

hi suds

Are you sure the frequency/polarisation/Standard/Modulation/SR/Fec are correct in your Skybox F5? Best to double check on king of sats or lyngsat. And: are the fta channels on those frequencies ok or not? Also you can do a complete scan (blindscan and NIT on if this is supported)

Openboxes/Skyboxes they have always had problems with running when a sly
box is also connected, they run at a higher voltage so that, I can't remember
which, either the verticle channels or horizontal channels arn't scanned. To test
if this your problem try diconnecting the sly boxes and see if your F5 scans all
channels, the fix for this is to replace LNB or get a no signal diode fix from ebay.

If this is a recent problem and nothing to do with the above then you will need
to update your channel list, a court decision between 2 sat operators has
mean't a lot channels moving about.

With the kind permision of DeeJayAj _ajsat.co.uk here is his latest list:

Just connected my dreambox 500 to the same connection all channels worked on that, but could not test any HD channels as they are not available on the old dreambox, plus could not test newer channel as I have old channel list on that. But all movie channels worked fine on the dream box Make me think it could require diode fix, As mostly the channel that are effect are the HD channel will update my tv channel list to lastest. Thanks guys

if we are talking about the hd channels, you may want to precisely configure the satellite dish.
you do not work all hd channels?

hi

Perhaps nothing to do with this, but here (Belgium & Holland) dish must be well adjusted/installed on some hd channels which are transmitting in 8psk. Also not all tuners have the same sensitivity (can be that signal is ok on box a and no signal on box be - with the same dish/lnb).

Sorry for the late reply, Sky sports 1234 HD do show its the movies channels HD and BT sports HD and some that are not HD channel that say no signal I ordered the no signal fix, I hope it's that but for some reason I have my doubts.

hi suds

hmm just noticed a lot of changes on the Astra 2 transponders, especially on the bt sports (movies stayed on the same tp I believe), please check again with king of sats or lyngsat if you're really searching the correct transponder - also footprint of the 'new' Astra 2F satellite is really narrow - but als your country flag says 'uk' that shouldn't be a problem

Been lots of channel movement lately. Make sure you have your channel list up to date.
