    Service unavailable check tuner configuration

    I'm getting the above message. I've rebooted the box, checked the connections, checked the aerial (it's connecting to a TV in another room), and run an automatic scan which finds no channels.
    The screen is showing "open is please wait".
    Is there anything else I can do to get it working? Using ABM.
    Any help much appreciated.

    What have you configured the tuners as? Might be better for you to post a screenshot for each tuner.

    You have an aerial wire connected to satellite tuners. That is not going to work.

    Satellite wire to satellite tuner
    Aerial wire to terretsial/hybrid tuner.

    I have satellite leads to satellite tuners. It's been working fine until today and I haven't changed anything.

    What is the meaning of this?
    checked the aerial (it's connecting to a TV in another room), and run an automatic scan which finds no channels.
    What has changed/happened today?
    Did you install anything like channel list or perform an update?
    What image are you using?

    I checked that the aerial hadn't moved by watching Freesat in a different room.
    I haven't changed anything today. I looked for release 4.2.001 in Image Manager but didn't download it.
    How do I check my image?

    will show you image details, but don't worry about it.

    What do you mean by "aerial". Aerial and satellite dish are two different things. I am guessing you are using a splitter of some sort for your satellite wire.

    Sorry - wrong terminology. I'm using a satellite dish.
    There are coax leads in ports A and B.

    Are these wires direct from the satellite dish or do they go via an intermediary?
    Were they removed from receiver today?

    They are direct from the dish. I swapped the leads when the problem arose because tuner B was not showing on the box display.

    I've swapped the leads to their original ports now and am running an automatic scan and the channels are downloading
