    Issues with box?

    Hi

    Been getting tune failed on working channels especially FTA on satellite some time now.

    Any idea if box is faulty or something else?

    Cheers.

    have you tried box in a different position or another box in where you have your tm,have you checked kingofsats to see if you have wrong info stored and does box get a daily channel update?

    Cant really put in a different position mate as dish is at front and cables dont go to another room only one. Dont have another box mate, only the one for cost reasons. No update on sat side but think cable does.

    Dont think reflash work as no FTA channels work. Just says "tune failed".

    Will take to someones house and check. If it works there then means box probably isnt faulty, but then wont know what is wrong then.

    Nothing showing at all on signal finder. Just says 0. Which I guess means no signal coming in anymore.

    Provided you connect to the correct type of LNB and configure your tuners correctly, testing at another place will prove the receiver is fine.

    If it is fine at another location, then your faults will be one of the following:

    F-plugs not fitted correctly
    Damaged cable. Some damage may not be visible.
    LNB faulty
    Dish/LNB alignment issue

    You will have to test one thing at time. Or pay someone to do it for you.
