HELP!!!
We live in Portugal and have a large satellite dish with an 8-way take off LNB. We use 5 of these offtakes, 4 to sky digiboxes and 1 to a silver crest satellite receiver. we have had this configuration for a number of years without problems. We are not Sky subscribers. Recently all 4 digiboxes started showing "no satellite signal" all at the same time. The little Silver Crest satellite receiver works perfectly well on all 4 of the digibox offtakes.I have tried everything you suggest including a different LNB . I have also tried a signal test which showed I had a good signal.Can you please help?

Thanks for your interest but this problem is really confusing.
As I said earlier, the satellite receiver works perfectly well on all channels and when a channel is selected a signal strength bar appears which varies between 60 and 70%. When I do a signal check on any skybox everything is zero. I took one of the skyboxes to a friend of mine today and it worked. The confusion is that this problem has developed overnight with all the skyboxes,they work elsewhere,and my satellite receiver records a good signal and works anywhere.
