I'm just trying to plumb it in in the flat.

I have connected one feed from the communal dish, and I get the current listings but it says "no signal being received" when you try to view anything.

Am I being dense here?

ETA - Input one signal strength is about halfway, quality is full and lock is "OK". Input 2 is at zero, as it isn't connected. Also no phone line connected currently.

There is an optin in the service menu you have to change to get it to work from one feed, press services then 0 0 1 select (new epg), i cant remember exactly how the option is labelled but you are looking for singal feed or something similar.

That turns on the power feed to RF2, no?

Apparently (I've not tried so it could be wrong):

  • Make sure your sky cable is plugged into "Dish Input 1"
  • Press Services on your remote
  • Press Right-Arrow and highlight "Settings"
  • Press Down-Arrow and highlight "Picture"
  • Press 0, 1, Select
  • The "Setup" tab will now appear
  • Scroll down and select the "Single Feed Mode" option
  • Press the Right-Arrow and change it from 'OFF' to 'ON'
  • Press the Green Button to Save the settings
  • A 'Caution' message will appear... Press 'Select'
  • Your system will now switch-off/reboot
  • Leave it for a couple of minutes
  • Press the Sky button to bring it back to life
  • Hey-presto, you can see the picture again!
