Checked the levels of signal, 65% - 70% both adjusted slightly to get roughly 80% - 90% of both. Powered down system, and on re-boot I now get some chanels, Watch, Gold, Chnl 5, Dave etc. But BBC 1& 2 Sky1,ITV, all have this channel has technical fault????

Update, I bought a re-conditioned digibox to day, just fitted it. And is working fine. Longest part of the job was the 20 minutes on the phone to SKY getting the card paired to the box.... Will try box at parents (freesat)after. If that works then another recon box tomorrow.

Tried the recon box at parents tonight, (without free view card) working fine for around 4 hours. Will buy another recon digibox tomorrow. Must have been a pure coincidence that the power supply failed in both boxes with in a week of each other. It was the multiroom box that I had to replace not the sky+ box.
Thanks for all your advice, really appreciate it.

Sky digibox shows no signal fault "36", tried everything that you suggest, LNB reset, forced software update. Signal is showing good strength, good quality & locked in, I have checked connections at LNB, even swapped them.(quad LNB)Its the multiroom box, the main box is working fine without any issues. Spoke to Sky they went through all the things that is already on here, to no avail. They want to send out an engineer @ £65, who will if he needs fit a recon box. Or I can upgrade to Sky HD for £5 a month(for 1 year, then its £10 a month extra!Saving £5 overall... My parents stay accross the street from me & have been using a sky digibox for freesat, up until last weekend when they have had exactly the same problem, (its still not resolved) Now its just too much of a coincidence that this has happened to us both, no way 2 box's go just like that at the same time!!! there has been no adverse weather etc lately so thats not an issue.Sky adament that they are sending out an engineer or selling me an upgrade! Little do they know that there speaking to an electricial & I cannot see what more the engineer is going to do, as I have checked all connection/terminations etc.... Your thoughts please?
