skybox f3 scrambled/no signal

[jamesyboyjim]

I have mate, and you still say your openbox reports a low signal untill the channel opens.
Nothing to do with anything.

Apon re reading I thought he said fta was working fine but it was someone else. My thought was if fta is working fine then the dish / lnb must be ok but as he hasn't mentioned that I'll get me coat

i have bro just reinstalled firmware too and thats not helped have checked soish with real skybox and working fine so dish is fine its since a scan was done halfway thru a blindscan the box crashed and then it was turned off before search had fi8nished and this has let to this first being scrambled and the no signal at all even on fta channels

Have you tried blind scanning again? If not do this and let it complete, press fav on your remote and your channels should be restored.
If blind scan fails try to reflash firmware and see if that makes a difference.
Sorry did not see above post, next thing to do is check the connector make sure nothing is shorting then connect cable and make sure it is fitted correctly and not creating a short, trim the signal wire a little if it seems tobe too long.
If it is non of these things then I am afraid your tuner might have failed.

blind scan cannot detect anything because there is no signal to the box from satellite dish satelite sish is fine tho tried another fta box and worked fine any other suggestiions ppl ? all suggestions appreciated thank you

[stikz1888]

You say teh dish is ok as a fta box worked ok,
Then you say theres no signal to the box from the dish.
Make sure lnb is set to 9750-10600 in set up menu

I use skybox.cc, I think this is the manufactures own website.

 

[stikz1888]

yeh tried real skybox and channelse worked fine put my skybox f3 in and no signal where do i find lnb setting

 

[Rumpelstiltskin.]

Try the menu installation, I cant be bothered to go upstairs and look at mine.
You have yours in front of you.

 

[Rumpelstiltskin.]

Also make sure power is turned on in menu to lnb.

 

[stikz1888]

found lnb frequency set to 0750 what should my transponder be set too ?

 

[Rumpelstiltskin.]

lnb 9750-10600 universal 22mz

What do you mean transponder set to?
Where are you in menu?

 

[stikz1888]

i am in antenna setup ?

 

[mahrkpat]

Would not reflashing firmware make the default lnb power setting to on?
Make sure lnb settings is set to universal (9750-10600) under antenna setup in menu, under lnb power in menu check lnb power is on.

 

[stikz1888]

lnb set to 9750 transponder settin ?

 

[stikz1888]

done that people the signal is saying 30% at top then 10
% at bottom

 

[Rumpelstiltskin.]

Would not reflashing firmware make the default lnb power setting to on?
Make sure lnb settings is set to universal (9750-10600) under antenna setup in menu, under lnb power in menu check lnb power is on.

I thought I already said all that?
