Sky box losing signal.

[Monkeyblaine]

I have recently extended to sky cables for a customer to a new position for their sky HD+ box. It all worked fine at first but now the box keep losing signal. Have re-terminated cables but still same problem. Original cables had no problems. Has anyone experienced this before? Any quick fix?

if you've checked all terminations and all cables, possibly a duff LNB...?

are you using the correct f type ( I think) connectors and not a pudding joint

A guy from sky puy magic eye in bedroom and he cut cable in attic and twisted them together . Never had problems with it. I'd say twist them together after that change lnb and put connections right

They tell you to switch the sky box off when disconnecting the leads as it can blow the lnb plus he could put the box back in th old position and if ok then its the joints
