Hi all,
I have a strange issue with my new Freesat set-up.

What currently works:
- Sky dish connected to sky box
- LNB coaxial cable in another room (from the Sky dish) connected to a Freeview-SD box (at the LNB-IN)

What does not work:
- LNB coaxial connected (via LNB-Antenna Female adaptor) to the Antenna-In of a new Freesat Box. I get 'No signal' message on the TV screen.

I also connected the LNB-Antenna-F-adaptor directly to the Antenna-IN of the back of the TV (no box involved), and auto-scanned for signals, but got no signals.

Where could the problem be?
Many thanks to all, in advance.

Sam

Neil Bell: Thanks Neil.
I got an engineer to come over last year to connect my Sky dish to 3 rooms. Each room has a coax cable (with a single LNB at the end). He also left me with a fully functional Freeview SD box.

I now like to use the coax cable and connect a Freesat HD. The Freesat box I bough, unfortunately does not have a LNB-IN, but has an Antenna-IN.

Not sure if I can answer your question - bit too complicated for me, but I hope the above information might be helpful?
IF you need me to get you more specific information, just let me know what to look for. Many thanks.
