Hello Following on from my earlier post wondered if again someone could help me.  I had the satellite installed a few months ago and it was working fine up until the weekend.  However, now I have a message saying "No satellite signal is being received".  I've tried switching the box off at the mains and then switching it back on again but this hasn't helped.  I don't think that the satellite itself has moved because its fixed to my balcony and seems pretty sturdy, and the wires going from the satellite to the digibox seem fine.  Has anyone any ideas as to what the problem could be or how I could fix it?! (I've tried phoning to the guy who installed it but he is on holiday until the end of August and I'd really like it fixed before then!) Thanks very much Kittygirl.

Thanks.  I just wanted to see whether it was likely to work before I got someone to bring it over - no point bringing it if not likely to work but seems like there's a good possibility. Thanks again.

Hello I'm arranging for a satellite to be installed.  I understand that I will need a digibox and also a card to pick up the normal channels (I don't want sky or anything, just usual terresterial channels).  The installer has offered to sell me a digibox and card.  However, my parents have an ancient sky digibox and card in the UK which I can bring over (they don't have sky anymore, but have been keeping the box and card "just in case").  The box is a pace 2200 and the card is a blue card with a picture of a house on it.  I was wondering whether anyone had this box and could let me know whether it would be likely still to be working - the box and card were working five years ago when my parents stopped having sky but maybe it is now obsolete and I will need to buy a new one? Any advice would be much appreciated.    Thanks Kitty
