Antenna power overload detected

ellectrastar

I have a couple of Freesat boxes that have worked fine until yesterday afternoon when it popped up a message saying “antenna power overload detected”. Each box connects to the dish via a separate cable which made me think it was possibly the dish at fault? Wondering if buying a new dish would sort it? Has anyone come across this before?

No, but it sounds like a LNB fault.  Could well be water got into it with the recent storms.  You won't need to replace the dish, just the LNB.

Did each of the Freesat boxes have the same issue? A new LNB as Mister_G should sort it, pretty cheap and easily fitted if you have access.

Thank you! This was my thinking too so replaced the LNB and all’s well
