    Did you try turning the box off at the mains and leaving it for a couple of mins

    It works for me when we get the no signal screen

    Plug your old one back in

    phone sky tell them that you want to cancel your subscription,they will bend over backwards to keep you,give them some grief and they'll come and sort you a new box FOC,they won't risk losing £40 a month for the sake of a box that costs them a fiver done it myself and a few friends and family

    Have a look on digitalspy.co.uk

    Have you checked the reception strength/quality</p>

    If you are getting nothing , your dish might have gone slightly out of line. It happened to me when I was in France. The dish just needed realigning.</p>
