Troubleshooting a Sky Receiver

If you have had a power cut, the digibox refuses to respond to the remote, or you see the messages:
‘no satellite signal’ or ‘there is a technical fault with this channel’ displayed on every channel, please carry out the following:

·        Unplug the sky box from the mains for 10 seconds.

·        Plug it back in (the light on the front should now be red.) and wait for 5 minutes.

·        Turn on sky box, the light on the front should turn green.- you may get a message on the screen to press the ‘backup’ button – if so , press it . Wait for picture to come on ( approx 1 minute )

If ‘no satellite signal’ is still displayed, then carry out the following using your sky remote control:

·        Press the ‘Services’ button and select option 4  ‘System Set Up’ you will see this screen:

System Setup

·        Press keys  ‘0 1 select’ in succession – the screen will change to ‘installer setup

o       If you do not see this screen, then press backup button 3 times and start again.

·        Press key ‘2’ for “default transponder”- the screen will change to this.

Default Transponder

·        In the top right hand column , the frequency will usually be ‘11778’ – you need to change this to ‘12129’ by keying in the numbers on the remote.( if you make a mistake, press select and try again)

·        Once you have changed the frequency , move down the menu and highlight ‘save new settings’, then press “select” to save the setting , and you will automatically be back at the ‘installer setup’ menu.

Installer Setup

·        Press ‘backup’ button 3 times, which will exit the menus.

·        Now you will see “searching for listings” and there should be the time and date in the bottom right hand corner.
