PauliB: Hi - yes it is .Sorry was not clear enough. Its a Sony TV with Freeview built in. We have been connected to the existing Sky dish for last couple years with no problem until I moved it yesterday.
cheers
PauliB: Hi all - have an odd problem. Moved the satellite dish yesterday due to roof alteration at home in Chch. Relocated and aligned to correct azimuth etc however no signal ! Except I found there is signal with the cable unplugged from LNB - All channels too !! ( very odd) Can someone advise whats going on here please? I have checked cable continuity which is fine plus it was working ok before moving. Only difference - moved unit and new cable fitting to LNB. Any clues gratefully appreciated! thanks

If you were doing this without an actual signal meter, I doubt you'll be able to lock on to a satellite that is 30,000km away (Yes! 30,000 km!!) Get someone with the proper equipment to align the dish correctly otherwise even if you do manage to strike it lucky and get some signal, you'll probably find it'll cut out at the first sign of rain due to being on the 'edge' of the signal.
Must be right under a UHF transmitter - the only 'antenna' it looks like you have got is the cable running to the dish.
As mentioned above, you need a UHF aerial. Or a coat hanger by the sounds of it.
