Hi
I hope to receive some advice from ye. Up to very recently I was getting perfect free to air reception on a sky pace box with the sky card upside down and this was over the last 3-4 years after I stopped having sky subscription tv.
I watched the tv one night last week and reception was perfect. The following night a error 29 message appeared, 'No signal received etc'. I am handy enough at TV tuning and checking leads etc.I dont believe its the dish that suddednly moved overnight and anyway had far worse weather over the years and I dont believe its the leads and rf cables as checked them too and look ok. I have checked the box and even updated it with the updated software and still to no avail so I am at a loss to know what it could be!
Could it be that the sky viewing card has expired?
Could it be that Sky have deactivated the signal given that I no longer pay for subscription TV or is that my imagination getting carried away?
Unlike the free to air non sky boxes the sky box requires a viewing card to view even the free to air channels?
If its the card that has expired or Sky has deactivated anyone know where I could get a cheap card or a way around this?
