Thread: No signal

to the box for british TV have they killed it ? I have unplugged and re plugged. The tv works spanish channels only now.

Most likely cause Val is the connector to the digi box/LNB, with the bad weather we have been having water may well have entered the connector at the LNB on the dish.

What are you using (equipment) and what does it say on the screen (no signal?)
Dish may have moved a smidge in the wind, if so you could well get a "no signal" screen.

Box went plink, no light at all on it red nor green. Checked all the mess at the back but nothing seemed amiss. Sorry I have no idea about it.

Try unplugging the box from the mains, wait ten seconds then plug it back in again, might do it.

Agree with country boy we have problems now and again,after unplugging it sorts itself out.

Sounds like a power in problem Val as it should at least have a red light. I assume that it has a Spanish plug fitted ?, if not are you using a UK one that has a fuse ?.
So you need to check the plug, or try pluging it into an extension lead that is plugged into another socket elsewhere.

I tried the unplug and plug again last night not looked at it yet today but will do later. When I decipher the mess at the back to find out which plug I will check about fuse thank you

Hi val, do you want to know what happened in emmerdale or eastenders last night? Lol

If you can get Spanish channels, I assume you have a separate Spanish ariel.
If so can you get some films on it in English. I have a TDT box attached to the Spanish ariel, which converts films which were originally in English back nto English...It won't give you Sky news or BBC programmes, but there are some good films on.

As your TV is working, and no lght shows on the receiver, the problem sounds as though it's in the plug oreceiver. Find the electric plug from the dish receiver, check whether it has the large three pin UK plug. If so, open it. Take out the fuse, and try a fuse from another UK plug...If it's not that, you need a man to help you.
