Following a recent storm I noticed that 'Signal 1' had disappeared. Signal 2 was still available. I disconnected the mains supply and reconnected it. Thisusually resolves similar issues. I have now been without any signal for 2 days.
I have a quad LNB and have been able to verify that all cables are producing an 85% strength and 100% quality rating on my Freesat box.
I have tried disconnecting and reconnecting the cables at the back of the Sky+HD box but to no avail.
I have tried options 1 & 2 above but I don't want to try option 3 because I appear to have no signal by which to download upgrade software.
I have tried a full system reset from the 'hidden' 'Services [0] [0] [1] [OK]' menu but that has not resolved the issue.
All evidence points to a problem with my Sky+ box but I tried swapping it for an older box and that also reports that no satellite signal is being received. It seems unlikely that both boxes are broken.
Could the current weather patterns be interfering with the signal such that my Sky boxes think they are not receiving a signal when my Freesat box clearly is?
