Chr15j 59 Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 Hi, I have just moved and am trying to setup my sky dish but failing miserably I have identified the direction I need to point it, checked all cables but cannot pick up any signals on the sky+ hd box I of have trees around but I think I'm clearing them Are there any experts who can help as wife is bending my ear wanting sky, would rather not call out sky! Thanks Chris Quote Link to post Share on other sites
keepdiggin 9,559 Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 my advice would be stop being tight and get an engineer out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
russ2012 328 Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 im no expert put make sure connections are tight, no wire hanging freely or kinks in it and check that the arm of the dish is secure and not able to move it should be tight a few problems i had with mine best of luck Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SINDASOX 255 Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 You will need a signal meter similar to this, Here SINDASOX Quote Link to post Share on other sites
neil82 1,073 Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 go into the services menu, then click on system set up there is a signal test there, don`t know how good it is as I`ve got a signal meter from maplins, you may need to readjust it as there are two sats very close together, only one carries sky Quote Link to post Share on other sites

marky b 309 Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 Even when it's positioned perfect sometimes you've got to unplug then plug back in your box so it restarts Quote Link to post Share on other sites
