morning guys

I have an SL 1000 which has been working fine for well over a year. This morning, mid programme it decided to flash up the old "No/bad signal". Went to do the scans as per the norm - nothing. No channels being picked up.

Have now done several power scans changing the symbol rate (am NTHell in Bromley). Nowt, Nada. Zilch.

Any advice? Trying to sort this before little un gets home from school to find no Disney

Just to warn you, 3 hours sleep and trying to sort a Eurovox not a good combo so it might be something simple I'm missing

cheers all!

What area are you in are are you paying subs???

I have a mate who has had his signal disconnected after years las week. He had the live feed in but wasnt paying, so an Vermin guy must have disconnected it at the box

did the no signal appear on all channels or just some of them

first off see if your subscribed box works ok on the line that you lost the signal on

if it does do a factory default reset and powerscan on symbolrate 6887 from start 100.00 to stop 870.00 at step 8

coaxial cable had dropped out ..........!

Note to self and other sleepyheads - always check the cables first! sorry again guys
