Digibox - how does it work?

sparkling_22

Hi

I hope somebody can help me. I picked up a digibox very cheaply at a jumble sale and it came without any sort of instructions. It is an Amstrad DRX100 and came with a Sky viewing card. It seems to be in working order but when I try to look at the TV guide it tells me that it is not receiving satellite signal. Do I need a special aerial or satellite dish for the digibox to work? Or can anybody tell me what I might be doing wrong?

Thanks!

You need a satellite dish pointing in the right direction to pick up the signal it requires.

Bit of a giveaway the "tells me that it is not receiving satellite signal"

There are Amstrad Digibox DRX100 instructions here.

What card did it come with? If it's the one with a house on the front then just buy a mini dish and point it 28.2 degrees east. If it's a different card then you will need to buy the latest issue card.
