What can I do when my Sky Digibox says 'No Signal' or 'Technical fau
How to Reset a Sky Digibox when 'No Signal' appears.
Reset method 1 - Delete and Rescan
- Turn the power off at the mains socket. Either do this by pulling the plug from the socket, or using a power switch if there is one.
- Remove the viewing card from the machine. Using a dry cloth or kitchen roll, clean the gold connector on the reverse of the card. Do not use any cleaning products.
- Check cables and connectors are in good order.
- Wait for at least 30 seconds.
- With the card still out of the machine, plug the Digibox back into the mains.
- Ignore all the messages, and wait for around a minute.
- Try 101 for BBC One, 102 for BBC Two and 103 for ITV-1.
- Insert viewing card, wait a few seconds.
- Check 104 for Channel 4 and 105 for five.
Reset Method 2 - Reset the LNB
If the above method does not work, the LNB may have a fault.- Press the [SERVICES] button and then press [4] [0] [1] then [SELECT]
On Sky HD, press the [SERVICES] button and then press [0] [0] [1] then [SELECT]
Press the buttons in the sequence above exactly - do not atttempt to use [UP] or [DOWN]. Note that when you press the second 0 and 1 nothing happens on the screen until you press the final [SELECT]. This is a "hidden menu". - Then press [1] to go to the RF output menu.
- Press [DOWN] three times to highlight the line 22Khz Command and then press [RIGHT] to change the value to [OFF].
- Press [DOWN] and [SELECT] to select Save New Settings.
- Press [SKY].
- Again press [SERVICES], [4], [0], [1], [SELECT]; then [1] again for the LNB Menu. (SERVICES 0 0 1 SELECT for Sky HD).
- Now press the [RED] button (reset all settings), then [DOWN] until you can select Save New Settings again.
- Press [SKY].
Reset Method 3 - Upgrade the system software
If there are still problems:- Turn the Digibox off at the mains again and remove the viewing card.
- Whilst holding down the BACKUP key on the Digibox - NOT ON THE REMOTE - turn the mains power on.
- Keep hold of BACKUP until the screen displays a "UPGRADING SYSTEM SOFTWARE" message ââ¬â this will be white text on a black screen. On some boxes this can appear as a half screen.
- Wait 10 to 20 minutes for the software to download and install. The box will restart when the process is complete.
- Ignore all the messages, and wait for around a minute.
- Try 101 for BBC One, 102 for BBC Two and 103 for ITV-1.
- Insert viewing card, wait a few seconds.
- Check 104 for Channel 4 and 105 for five.

It does open up jobs for us to do as I feel a lot of people who distribute sky are going to get these boxes as replacements and the sky engineer is just going to say --' that AINT my job
So taken rf modulater out and fitted wifi
End of an era - Virgin boxes are the same with no rf distribution
Will force people to get another 1

kb aerials: you can use a global io link this replaces the internal modulator and still works the magic eyes.

mazbar / KB Aerials: Thanks to you both for clarifying the issue, my initial thoughts on the subject being that its just bound to be on the cards that numerous Sky box users who use their boxes RF modulator to feed the signal into a number of bedrooms are going to have a rude awakening if their box is updated, however although the Global iO port RF replicator will obviously take care of the analogue RF side of the equation, but if indeed its also capable of controlling magic eyes? then the situation is not quite so dastardly as was first thought.
KB (Keith) I was having a look at your earlier posting (12th / 11.46pm) where you had mentioned these Global devices, but though I am not quite sure if you were just pointing the device out to Mazbar or have used one on a multiroom box and have personally witnessed a magic eye controlling the box via the Global unit?

No ive not tried one yet
the none recording HD box has the same IO port
Id be interested to see how the channel is allocated - is it on the gadget as an RF modulaer is or is it still on the installers menu
Mazbar for what they cost having one on your van is prudent its not going to be an every day occurrence - butt then again I suppose its like having a RF modulator on the van or Diplexers -- cant remember last diplexer I installed
A friend has just sent me a link to the
You use the same installers menu
