John Watson: Although what you are experiencing comes into the category of being a real oddball problem, it might indicate that the LNB is defective in some way, albeit that I have never at any time experienced this type of fault. Therefore I would like you to try a test of leaving the Humax out of the equation, i.e: uncoupled, and try the sky box connected into one of the two feeds used by your Humax, should it work OK, try it connected into the second feed.

Ken: Try disconnecting the Bush from the mains supply for a few minutes before reconnecting it again, as obviously the hard drive has failed to initialise, which unfortunately in many cases is bad news.

John Watson: Also meant to say, that if the Sky box is found to work OK on both of the feeds used for the Humax, then if your LNB is of the quad variety, transfer the connector used for the Sky box over onto the LNB's spare port.

The other thing that you should check first though, is make sure that the power supply to the LNB is switched on, this achieved by pressing "services - 4 - 001- select", the latter done in an evenly spaced fashion.

Emley Moor (Kirklees, England) transmitter
Sunday 26 October 2014 8:25PM

kevin edwards: Nothing has changed at the Emley Moor transmitter, the ERP rated outputs being exactly the same as before. As you are located at approx 18 miles away from the transmitter and with a clear line-of-sight from, an aerial such as a Log36 is ample for your requirements, this type of aerial being ideal for mounting in any position, such as a roof, loft, wall mount, or alternatively on a short 90 degree arm under a gutter etc.

Sally Storey: Can your downstairs TV receive HD programmes such as 101/ 102 / 103 etc, because Ch64 (Jewellery Maker) is transmitted on the COM7 HD transmitter.

If though the TV in question can receive 101 etc, then carry out a "first time installation" on it in order to load EPG64 into the guide. First time installation also known as "Default setting" or "Manufacturers reset".

suzy: A location in the form of a post code or one from nearby (e.g: a shop / post office) is really required with queries of this nature, as this would then enable checks to be made on the transmitter that covers the area and whether or not you should be able to receive it.

On the subject of the aerial referred to, where is it installed, loft, roof, a set top type, or are you on a communal system?

Sean Shortland: Try swapping the LNB inputs over and see if this changes anything, because if the coax feeding into the boxes LNB1 input is defective this will result in a "no signal" message being seen.

Alan Green: Indications are that Sutton Coldfield is the only station providing good signal coverage in your location. The figures you mentioned of 650 / 642 / and 674 correspond to the multiplex channel numbers of BBC1 / SDN ITV3 etc / and ITV1 respectively, and if you select BBC1 (EPG1) and go into the signal check screen, the Mux channel number should "always" be C43 / 650.00 Mhz, likewise (EPG3) ITV1 being C46 / 674.00Mhz, and with (EPG10) ITV3 being C42 / 642.00Mhz.

Are you using any form of booster? because if your are try bypassing it by connecting the aerial directly into the TV.

Alan Green : Further to that said, a Google Earth check on your location would suggest that you "might" be connected into a communal aerial system? should this be the case, then its always the best policy to check with someone else residing in the block just in case the problem is also being experienced by others, as the distribution amplifier that feeds the signals into the individual apartments could have developed a fault.

By the way, it might possibly be of assistance if you provide the model number of the Sharp Aquos TV.
