    A dbox1 for satellite is a good box for free to air channels but thats it.
    Connect it to a dish and do a channel scan.

    If there is dvb2000 installed switch the dbox to standby, hold down the up and down arrow behind the front flap simultaneously and switch on.
    If you see erase on the display you can release the buttons.
    Try an scan again.

    There should be a satellite option selectable via a number.

    Try via 5 astra 19°.
    If there is no power at the LNB cable the tuner could be faulty.

    If a scan found no channels thats the normal behaviour.
    Are you sure your dish is ok and point at astra 28.2°.

    Sky via satellite is simply not cracked.
    You can get the none scrambled channels but thats it.
