Hi. Recently I upgraded to HD and had a new box and cables installed from an existing dish. Over the past few months I have started experiences problems, namely that I lose signal from only one of the inputs.
I've tried all of the suggested fixes (reset lnb, software updates etc) but nothing seems to reliably fix it. I have fiddled with the cables that go into the back of the sky box, and when I've switched them over in the past the signal has picked up and worked. But today, no matter what I do, I can't get the 2nd input to receive a signal. Is this a dish or lnb problem? Can anyone help because I'm going out of my mind!

Thanks Keith. I have already disconnected and re-fitted the f-connectors and I'm pretty sure there was no loose braid touching the copper core. I'll re-check and maybe even cut it back to make a fresh connection. Would an old LNB or dish cause this type of problem too? I was looking at he dish earlier and it does look old and slightly rusted.
