All BBC & ITV Channels gone? - Techwatch Support Forums: Digital & Satellite TV, FTA, Cable, Computers, Mobile Phones, Apple and General Tech Forums

My sky box has recently started saying no signal is being received on channels 1-4 and every other itv channel plus all the bbc ones but every other "sky" channel works. Signal strength is about 75% and quality is about 80%

Anyone got any ideas? I've updated the EPG, turned off the power to the LNB and back on again but nothings fixed it.

Could be any number of faults. As you have failed to give us any useful information in your profile I'll have to assume you are in the uk

None of us are mind readers so please fill your profile in properly with your county, or nearest big town so we arent guessing trying to help you. Country if you are outside the UK.

Off the top of my head it could be any or all of the following:

Misaligned dish
Damaged or water filled cable
Corroded lnb connection
Failing components in the digibox.

Signal strength is meaningless as its only giving you the info from one frequency (the so called default transponder)

At a guess you have an amstrad or grundig / thompson box?
