No signal I try to watch through the tv, as opposed to sky and it says no signal

The sky box is the box you use to watch TV The flat panel is just the monitor to receive the picture from the sky box you cannot tune the TV to receive the sky EPG signal Use the HDMI input in the TV menu that the sky box is attached to

If your Sky Plus box is not allowing you to record one channel while watching another and is displaying a "no signal" error, there could be a few potential causes for this issue:

Insufficient signal strength: Make sure that your Sky Plus box is connected to the satellite dish correctly and that the dish is pointing in the correct direction. Weak signal strength can prevent the box from tuning in to channels properly.

Dish misalignment: If your dish is not properly aligned, it may not be able to pick up a signal from the satellite. You can try adjusting the dish yourself or contact a professional to align it for you.

Technical problem with the box: There may be a technical problem with your Sky Plus box that is preventing it from recording and watching different channels at the same time. This can be caused by a hardware malfunction or a software issue.

Subscription issue: Make sure you have the appropriate subscription package that allows you to record and watch different channels at the same time.

Box is full: If your hard disk is full, the sky+ box may not be able to record or watch another channel.

It would be best to check all the above points, if the problem persists, contact Sky customer service for further assistance.
Why is my Sky saying no signal on some channels?

Faulty Satellite Cable
There are all sorts of things that can cause a cable to become faulty like age, condition, and whether it's damaged and weathering/ water ingress. To fix- A new coaxial cable or two new coaxial cables may need to be installed for Sky+ boxes and Sky Q boxes.

Hi,

Firstly, you don't get Freeview through your Sky box. If you are watching Freeview channels then it's from an aerial connection. If you are getting a 'No signal' message on your TV, the first things to check are:

1. Check that you have selected the correct input source on your TV. If you are using a 'co-ax' connection (standard aerial cable) you will have to select this manually from the remote. If you are using a SCART connection, all you need to do is turn the Sky box off and back on - but you've done this already.
2. Check the connection from your Sky box to your TV - disconnect it, check that the cable and connectors aren't damaged then re-connect it.
3. Check the cable between the dish and the Sky box. Unplug this from the Sky box and reconnect it.
4. Check that your viewing card is correctly inserted. This is unlikely to be the problem as it doesn't usually result in a 'no signal' message, but remove it and re-insert it anyway.

Finally, it's very windy tonight and this can affect the Sky signal if your Sky dish isn't properly secured. It's possible that your dish has been moved by the wind and is no longer aligned with the satellite. If none of the above work, you should inspect the dish as soon as conditions are safe enough to do so. If you can move it by hand, it can probably be moved by the wind.

Try these tests and post back and I will try to assist further if the problem has not been resolved.

You must connect up the TV to the SKY box, via Audio Visual cables too, in order to watch, recorded programs. You need to hook, up, Component, HDMI, or Composite, You select it by an EXTERNAL channel.
Connect the cable running from the wall into the "In" port on the Sky Box HD receiver. This cable brings in the signal to your receiver. Make sure the cable is securely fastened to the receiver, otherwise you might experience image and audio issues.
Attach an HDMI cable into the HDMI port on the Sky Box HDTV receiver. The HDMI is a single cable that provides both HD audio and video signals.
Plug the other end of the HDMI cable into an available HDMI port on the HDTV.
Power on the HDTV and the Sky Box HDTV receiver. Press the "HDMI" button on the TV's remote control. This will display the cable contents of the HD receiver onto the television.

Sounds like the "channel" you are trying to watch on is not the one it's plugged into, or a faulty lead.
check the connection from the sky box to the tv, and select the av or hdmi channel that it is plugged into on the tv.
check the lead by swapping it for a known good one, for example from a dvd or ps3, but unplug from the dvd/ps3 and plug into the sky box(make sure that all the units are powered off when swapping leads) and try on the channel you normally watch/use the dvd/ps3.
If you suspect the sky is at fault, press menu on the sky remote and then flick through all the av/hdmi channels until you find the menu, then try to reinstall/retune the sky box.
If that don't work phone sky......................

if you connect the dvd to the tv using scart socket 2 (av2) it should send a signal to the dvd, depending on the make/model of tv, you also may have to set the av2 output in the menu.
Alternativly, connect the sky to the dvd input and the dvd output to the tv, this should also work.May have to watch the tv with the dvd on set to av.

This could be down to several things so sorry if this is long winded but really needed more info from yourself...

Sky gets its signal from the dish mounted on your exterior wall.

your terrestrial signal comes from your terrestrial aerial be it external or internal.

If you do have an aerial cable coming into your property and it is connect to your television. Go into your TV MENU and set it away on Auto Tune if this does not come up with any channels. Try auto tune on your built in Digital tv ie DTV if it has this option...

If neither of these work then you need a new aerial or it needs to be re-aligned.
Personnally I would not bother with a Terrestrial Aerial You already have Sky installed so this will be fine for when the Whole of the UK goes digital. Dont be fobbed off by people telly you that you need a Digital aerial as your sky dish is already Digial anyway.

Hope this Helps

Hi Max,
I an not familiar with Sky TV, I assume it a Cable or Satilite Service.
Here are a few things to check.

1. Press the INPUT button on the TV remote or on the TV control panel, cycle through all inputs and see if you get a signal.
2. From the TV's Video Menu, set tuning band to Cable and not to Air or Antenna.
3. From the Video menu Scan for channels, there should be a Auto Scan option.

Try these and let me know how it goes, I can be of further assistance.

Sounds like from discription the sky feed is set up for analog channel 6. With my TV-HVR-1600 card, there is an option in the wintv application when you click the menu button in the application that says channel suite. If you select this option, you should find and option for analog source. Select analog source in this screen and you should be able to manually add channel 6 in the box at the top of the analog souce screen. Also if you have the sky feed connected and you you click the scan button on this screen, it should detect automatically is the sky feed is on.
