how long is the cable from dish to box? does it go into a face plate on the wall or directly from the dish to the box?
No idea about length.
Its fitted on those small brackets on the wall.

I have mine set up exactly like sky with the sat channels and iptv in one section,You cannot even tell its iptv or satellite,My mrs thinks it all satellite and her friends ask how we have so many channels so i tell her its the motorized dish (silly mare) and she is a teacherTried IPTV on the box with bouqets etc last year with the plugin (forgot the name of it) and trust me mate they struggled to use it. HAd to change channels for them to get to what they wanted lol.
I honestly dont believe its the dish or signal being blocked from trees. Just these guys wanting more money and just saying change everything.
Can you get access to your dish from a ladder mate, I guarantee we could walk you threw it unless it needs moved. Sometimes in really bad winds the dish can misalign (has been good weather so doubt it. You can literally replace the lnb in 2 seconds and twist the new wires in. Also do you have any other satellite connections in your house. Sometimes a wire can come loose or get water in it. Again ruling out the dish needing moved. I paid 70 quid for a full install, dish and all. Don't get done in mate
I'm installer myself if I lived near you I would fix your installation .If you need l.n.b I can send you one
Has to check the wires, if he's getting a connection at the lnb then it's 100% the wires. He has to double check it then remove and install new ones. All which need access for testing. You can buy disposible gloves and a mask for him to put on before he enters and keep your 2 meter distance from him. Also open windows. As soon as hes gone go on a cleaning frenzy. Job done
His meter would show this
If cable faulted
He needs to run new cables to the box and check at the f connector and when on box see your tuners work,you can stop your cam so encrypted wont work.
What you should have done was disconnect the cable from the box and put it through window to allow him to connect the meter to it and then if a fault was found then it would have narrowed it down to the cable being faulty or the connector on the end etc therefore no need to enter the property etc
