Paphos People

Hi i have had a problem since yesterday
The display on nilesat box all looks ok but i have no signal
and its not making any attempt to search for signal so does anyone know
if this is a box problem or a dish problem .
Do i need professional help or is this a diy job ????
thanks

First check all the leads especially the scart leads. Has the dog/cat/kids knocked one loose?
Is the TV set on AV1/satalite - It may be set to TV or PC/DVD
Is the Nilesat box favourites on Sport/ News/ Etc - when all your favourites are saved under Movies. (press the favourites button several times to correct. )

Do you have Terrestrial TV on the same cable? I had this problem last year and it turned out to be a "powerpass" box, if you have one.

If no Joy with the simple checks, there are lots of satellite people and Nilesat is not expensive to get fixed. It sounds like a cable / LBN problem to me so I would a guy in.

Hi sorry i should have said the screen up on tv is showing signal strength is 10% have done all the cable checks etc but still no joy ?

OK

The problem then is the dish or the cable to it. If the cable has been unprotected in the sun for several years it may have broken down. A neighbours did that after 3 years. Or you could have a spider in your LBN or you need a new LBN (or as said earlier the powerpass - if you have one has failed)

Suggest you get in a professional.
