    Not at the moment, when their encryption agreement with Sky runs out, it is rumoured they will make all their channels that aren't FTA, FTA.
    It's PAC not PAC Code, it's MAC not MAC Code, it's PIN not PIN Number, it's ATM not ATM Machine, it's LCD not LCD Display, it's DVD not DVD disc... It's no one not noone, It's a lot not alot, It's got not gotten... Panini is the plural of panino - there is no S!!

    ok, back to the original topic....

    I removed the sat cable from my old working Grundig stb and connected to the cable in the other house.. I got "no signal being received" message. Same for both plugs.

    Now, when I bring it back to my old house, where the box was working before and reconnected it, I am now also getting the same message.

    Am I doing something wrong or is my stb broken during transit?

    Grundigs are renowned for power supply problems which often don't show up until you let the Digibox cool down. Take a look at the Satcure web site. They have an explanation and sell repair kits for the various models.

    This site also has some information on Digibox faults:
