I've just reconnected my sky box to the dish cable.?

Question

When I switch on it shows 'no satalite signal'. Do I need to buy a Sky card to get a signal? (To watch Freeview channels only) Or should I get a signal without a card? Living in UK.

Answer 1

I think it needs updating swictch the box off at the mains press and hold down back up button,switch back on and hold button down until three lights come on on front of box.release button and  amessage will appear update in progress will take about10 mins,make sure your sky card is in position

Answer 2

Without a Sky Card, current or expired, the box will not work.

You would get a message to the effect that you should insert the card.

It is possible that disconnecting, them reconnecting the box may have blown your head amp, or at least the in-line fuse......... especially if you reconnected while the box was switched on.

Answer 3

Your dish is out of allignment or the cable connection is faulty
