hi @Afrochap 

 

As you mow have a communal feed you will need to check/change the LNB type to SCR - this is in an engineer's menu

 

To access it :

 

press Home

Scroll to Settings - but do not press enter/select at this point

Press 0 0 1 in sequence followed by  the Enter/ select button

you should now get the engineer's menu

 

Select the LNB Type & set to SCR if necessary

 

After changing the LNB type power down your SKY Q box and restart it for the change to come into effect

 

Edit please note however, it is quite possible (if not likely) that your feed is not SKY Q compatible and may need an 'adapter' to be fitted by SKY

Hi @Afrochap   If you used the Sky Move procedure, all of this would have been done for you.

@Afrochap sounds like you have moved into a property with a communual dish ?

 

If so you will need a Sky MDU engineer to come out to set you up

I think so too but getting Sky on the phone is a pain. Chatting is impossible as it's just a bot. 

 

I think they need to do better
