We have two satellite dishes that we're told the previous tenants used, one pointing to Sky, one to some European thing. One has twin LNB, I don't yet know which. The cables seem to come down okay from the LNBs through the wall into the lounge. The landlord seems to think I should be able to just hook up a box and I should be ready to go.
To find out what dish points where, I figured I'd buy a Skybox F3 to see what it can see on the three cables from the LNBs. I plug in its power, screw a cable from the wall into "LNB IN 13/18V", plug its HDMI into my 720p television's HDMI input, and ... well, not much, whichever cable from outside I use. The Skybox F3's display counts up to L100, pausing a bit as it goes, then says NoCH. The television display stays completely blank.
Aren't I meant to see something from it? I play around on the remote but I don't seem to be able to make any menus appear or anything. The user manual seems to assume I should be able to see something from it.
