Hi all, I have a Sony Bravia that has an in built satellite tuner. But it's flaky, I have regular "no signal" issues that go away once I perform a restart, and even then the signal quality is sometimes poor. I used to use an Amiko Mini and the signal was absolutely fine.
I'm thinking it could be because the Sony is not providing enough power to the dish lnb? I'm wondering if there is a USB powered gizmo that can maybe sit between the TV and satellite cable to provide enough juice? Or failing that a very simple/small decoder may be what I need. All I'm after is the free sky channels (need more than what Freesat offers as some of the required channels aren't on standard Freesat but are on Freesat by Sky).
Any help appreciated.
