Will look in mine tomorrow to be sure I tell you correctly, but you need the power on , the dish down and pull a wire out (one like a telephone plug )and then press two buttons (I think the two arrow buttons) and within about ten seconds, still holding the buttons put the plug back in and it will go through the re-boot sequence. It does work but will confirm which wire and buttons tomorrow, if you do want to try beforehand you cannot spoil anything.

Had chance to look with brain in gear

Take out the flat wire from the larges box, mine is on the left but my box is mounted with lettering up side down. It is the one with the little plastic clip at back like a telephone wire, press and hold the two arrow buttons and within five seconds still holding the buttons put the wire back in.

Display should read re-boot if it doesn't then do it again, no worries you cannot break anything

have fun Alan

Well did you break it or did it re-boot

 

[Patrick]

Well did you break it or did it re-boot

We did what you said, but have just noticed we should have taken the wire out of the big main box and not the small box.

It didn't work, just spends all its time looking! will try the unplug and reboot again tomorrow.

Mine was doing the same at Newark!

Going back to my winter post about changing to a dual lnb. I discovered, with a bit of help, that the auto search feature is controlled by the co-ax cable going down to the control box, where it links to the the gps, and then back up to feed the digibox. This is not to be confused with the display panel used to boot the system.

My control box was hidden away behind the fridge, accessed through the external vents. It may be that the cable has come adrift or been disturbed at the lnb end even. May be worth checking. If all else fails you can do a manual search with the display panel as a temporary measure.
