Hi,
Please could you be a bit more specific about your setup.

Are you talking about
satellite TV through a dish
Cable TV
Terrestrial TV through an aerial.
?

I have a Pace Digibox connected to a satellite dish pointing in the direction of Astra2D.There is a sky viewing card in the bottom slot and this (did)provide me with ITV.Channel 4 & BBC etc.All of a sudden the picture on all channels has disappeared.Using the remote control I tried Services/4/6 to see if the dish has moved but all seems to be OK.

Thanks

Hi amanites, what are you getting on screen? Is it a sky message or just blank?

Do you get the menues when you press the services and other keys?

One of the easiest way to check if either the box has failed, or the cable/dish has is to either connect another box to your dish, or try your box on somebody elses dish, if this is possible.
