White Sky Box is working, with program guide showing, but after initialising satellite connection, there's no satellite connection.  It was fine last night, and apps such as TVNZ are working.

 

Tuner status shows 0db unlocked.  It used to say (I think) 13db. 

 

Has the satellite died completely?

Closing the story off here, it turns out there was a failure in the 25 year old cable from the dish, causing total signal loss to the box.  Worn through where it was clamped to the dish support.  No doubt a victim of Wellington weather over the years.

 

Now repaired and working fine, with a new LNB installed for good measure.
