    Assuming you have two coax cables

    First look round the back of the box. Check the two cables are connected to the two outer connectors with the centre one not used.

    If incorrect put right (turn the box off before changing connections) and do a factory reset. You should see a message during the reset that two cables were found.

    If the cables were correct then

    Menu System Diagnostics and post signal strength and quality for both tuners.

    Now Open the setup menu with Freesat Tune highlighted

    Without looking at the screen press the following in succession on the remote

    Red Green Yellow Blue Green Yellow Blue

    You should get a Menu - Manual Setup

    Press OK on Antenna Setting

    Post what Antenna Type and Connection Type is shown

    Your box thinks you have only 1 cable connected. Connection Type should be two cables(same). You can change it in the menu or carry out a factory reset. If you do the latter you should get a message 2 cables found.
