A few weeks ago the built-in satellite Freeview on my Panasonic TV stopped working.

There are two coaxial cables and both don't seem to show any sign of life when scanning satellite channels.

Is there anything I could try to resolve the problem? Seemed to work before February.

We haven't had Sky for a few years.

I say that as I have a Panasonic tv too. The tv will not power the sky dish.

I can’t believe that to be correct.
Why would they make a product that wont work unless you buy another device to power it. ?

If it has a satellite tuner then of course it will power a dish.
