So, "nothing is wrong".

If nothing is wrong, what is the problem?

You have two recent threads where people are asking you questions to be clearer. Please reconsider the detail you are providing, it may not be enough.



i have dual lnb


Do you have a Sky Q receiver in the front room?

Is your issue all of a sudden? i.e it was working before and suddenly changed.
When did it last work OK?
What is the last thing to have changed?

Maybe we should ask if he has sky Q which might not be compatible with other sat boxes?

Describe the hardware fully, there are blank spaces in my understanding.

You said there are only two cables connected to the LNB.

1. Are these two x single cables, (only two connections used on LNB)?
2. or are these two 2 twin cables (four connections used on LNB)?

3. Are you using any splitters in your setup?

4. How many signal wires are connected to the Xtrend?


Please answer all the questions.

also please confirm how you are getting your channels, abm scan/ manual scan. you knowthat sky one and fox cannot be decoded by card share anymore, do you get ANY other channels ,i.e. FTA such as bbc 1 itv etc?

1.No
2. Yes two twin Cables two connections on one for front room one for A on Sky+box and one for B on Sky+ box cable into bedroom is the same cable with two one for A and one for B on Xtrend9X00
3. No ? i do have a netgear to send signal so i can use ethernet for connection
4. As above one wire from lnb with two to connect to twin tunner
channels by abm scan i can get FTA bbc1 itv i know sky has cut out some more channels like before as they did with atlantic but do not think it's that mant were as can only get two but surly i be able to get more sky channels they can't be all down and does my fault lie at tuner config like i said what if i do a factory reset for box or would this make no differance

If your tuner config was wrong, ABM would have most likely failed. Your tuner config should be:
Simple, single, Astra 28.2 on both tuners.


Which region did you select in ABM?

Which bouquets have you checked?

Can you try and run tuner scan (Xtrend) using the cables downstairs that are in the sky receiver to rule out any issue with cable upstairs?
