Default no discovery channels

i have a problem. my dbox on the upstairs feed doesn't show any discovery channels. i tried a starview as well and the exaxt same problem.ive tried a booster and no joy. the signal seems to be strong enough, but when you switch it to a discovery channel the signal strength is 0. anyone got any suggestions.

Make sure there are no splitters or attenuators on the line to upstairs or try a rescan to see if they have moved position.

Glad you got fixed mate.

So, basically you couldn't be arsed checking all your cables and connections for the last 2 months, LOL.

Well at least there are lessons to be learned from this thread, which is of course, the whole point.

All the best

i had blamed the loss of discovery channels when i bought a second hand tuner off ebay and fitted it myself. its when i recently acquired a starview box and had the same prob, thats when the penny dropped. i never questioned my signal because it was a decent signal, your right but mate i am a lazy bar steward.
