You get 'No satellite signal is being received' when you use the digibox?

Then it's something to do with the dish/LNB or cable. Your dish has probably not been aligned properly, or has been moved - maybe by the wind. Either try realigning it yourself, or get an installer in to do it for you.

It could also be a duff LNB or waterlogged or otherwise shorting cable, so check these too.

thankls mate u think so thats the dish or lnb prob.I had a same feeling ok one think i want to let u know is recently i disconnected my sky .can i still watch astra sat using my sky digi?

You can still view 'free to air' channels on Astra 28E with your skystar

Unfortunately you won't be able to view 'free to view' channels (these include Ch4 & 5) as these are encrypted in NDS/Videoguard and are only viewable using a sky digibox/Dreambox and viewing card

Chers mate

Ya ma dish or lnb is dispositioned:S what can i do should icall some one to fix or is there any any sat metetr o stuff to back it on its postion

You can either do it by trial and error, or use a compass and a satellite meter. If you're not confident, there are plenty of companies that will do it for you - for a price of course.

can u tell me ab any one in london mate ab their contact .How much usually they charge just to align the dish

[BGonaSTICK]

No idea about London m8. I'd guess that £30 would be a fair charge in these days of automatic callout charges.

Why don't you have a go yourself? You've got nothing to lose - it's not aligned at the moment!

Can't make a personal recommendation, but you'll find a registered installer here:
