Congratulations 👏
If it was a Sky Q setup, would either of the boxes have worked before?

All depends on what LNB is on the dish, the very reason im asking. You may for example get some channels but not all depending on the LNB type and configuration.

Its a question i felt needed asking. Now if the channels he is able to watch on the VU+ dont work on the H9 then my reasoning behind asking is irrelevant.

What I meant was, both boxes are attached to the same dish and both work normally upstairs.
Only the Vu box will work downstairs. Just the H9 not working downstairs, no signal at all

Weaker tuner on the H9 is my bet and water has got into the cable somewhere

Look into Hybrid LNBs mate.

What connections are upstairs could be totally different to downstairs.

For instance it may be legacy outputs upstairs and wideband downstairs and the VU is on a channel that can be received on wideband and the H9 not.

OP should run a scan on the H9 downstairs to see if it pulls any channels at all.

He did this in post #9 and it worked fine.
Both boxes work upstairs but only the Vu downstairs

The cables for the f connectors go straight outside via a hole in the wall and are plugged into the sky dish. Can i pull them out of sky dish and swap them,do you know? Ive never been near the dish before. Better get me ladders out lol.

Start by replacing the LNB NEW MK4 QUAD LNB FOR Sky + HD Freesat HD READY LMB , SAME DAY DISPATCH | eBay

If that dosen't work replace cable to downstairs

..... and the Zgemma

 

[reggie73]

When you check the cables on the zgemma go into menu, tuners and scanning, signal finder. Are you getting any Snr signal at all.

No none at all.

I think im gonna have to do this as played about with the sat cable and f connectors for hours yesterday and still the same.
Upstairs now running on the vu box and all good. Downstairs showing no signal at all on the zgemma.
Would i need to change all the cabling if i change the LMBs. Thanks for all your help.

 

[reggie73]

Thanks everyone for trying to help me its much appreciated

Just standard set up outside, never touch it since it was installed. Then back of zgemma and set up of wires/cables. This is the same in both rooms.
I hope i dont get banned for posting these pics. Are we not allowed.
