Complete loss of carrier ?

We have a small Dion set top box upstairs that has worked fine for the last 3 months.

I recently swapped the DVD player ''connected to it and the TV'' and we have lost all signal.

When I do a manual tune it comes up with the reply ''No Carrier Found''

Completely stumped ?

Durris Transmitter is fine as far as I know.

    If it worked fine before and you had the problem immediately after, the most likely cause is a problem with the aerial lead.

    Make sure the plugs are seated firmly into their sockets. If that does not work, it is very possible that the internal wiring has been disturbed by the plugging and unplugging. This is very common.


    Check inside the plugs (if they are the screw-together type) to ensure that the central wire is properly seated in its guide and there are no "whiskers" of the outer shielding touching it.

    It can't be that my friend....as I checked the box in the other bedroom on a different aerial connection/tv and it came up the same.....???

    Also...

    I didn't swap them straight over.....about a week lapsed with the digi box being off before I did this reconnection.

    In that case, it appears something electronic has failed when power was re-applied. "It's dead Jim"

    Is the DVD connected by a hdmi lead (upscaling box) ? If so try removing the hdmi lead and see if you get your signals back.
