My Satellite Setup
Currently, a Sagem Freesat + box connected to a sky dish (the dish is at least 13 years old, maybe older). The Sagem has 2 scarts, 2 satellite inputs and an HDMI. I also have a 2002/3 Apple desktop I bought second hand about a year ago. Thank you.

My Freesat box works (albeit slowly and with a necessity to unplug it and re-start it sometimes); however, for the last few days, it’s been telling me that there’s no signal on every station, (when I key in a station number), and when I go into the ‘programme guide’, it doesn’t show the possible list of programme types or list any programmes, though it does open the pages they should be on. I’m unable to access the LNB myself. If anybody can help, I’d be very grateful.
 
Are you using the SCART on the Sagem, it may no longer receive the latest broadcasting standard if the HDMI port is just an upscaler.

What connectors are on the back of your television ?
 
From your description sounds like a failing power supply, do you know anyone with a Freesat or sky box that they can lend you for an hour or so to test?

Thank you very much for your replies and your time and trouble, but my partner, who wasn’t prepared to unplug his satellite box for me to try, has persuaded me to make an appointment with a satellite repair company, and they are coming tomorrow. Thank you again though.
 
Not the cheapest option but hey-ho.

What is the television btw ?
