Hi guys,

I bought a second hand sky plus box the other day with a brand new dish.

I've got to set it up today and come up against a problem.

The dish is mounted at the same elevation and pretty much the same pitch as my next door nieghbours so I would have thought I'd recieve some signal no matter how small.

However, I get nothing. No signal or strengh and not locked.

I beleive the box is fine as it was shown to me working, and its turns on fine.

So I can only think its something to do with my set up. Spefically the fact I'm using only one cable rather than two.

I know its a Sky plus box, but as I'd have to pay to use the record faciality I thought I'd give that a miss, and assumed that the system would work with just one wire.

Is that not the case, do I have have to have two wire?

Or if it can be done with one wire, it is possibly my connection? Ie there four output on the dish and two inputs in the box (8 combinations) and I might be using the wrong ones.

Can anyone help me? I don't want to pay £60 for someone to come over and do a two minture job when its something I can do.

CCCChhhheeeerrrrssss guys.
