Standby light on the receiver flashes red to green at two second intervals.Displays "no channel"

Receiver acknowledges channels being tuned in,but will not retain them.

I am presuming some capacitors on the main circuit board may require replacing,but am not sure which ones.

Unfortunately I am unable to include my photograph of the Coship's circuit board.

Any suggestions are very welcome,

Thanks Numen.

I'm pretty sure I had the exact same Satellite receiver do exactly the same thing a couple of months back. Perhaps the components inside were only built to last until around about now.
Didn't even bother trying to fix it. Wasn't worth it, really.

On the coship it means there's no signal, check your dish first

Problem cured-the ever helpful Lars at Freeviewshop advised symptoms suggested a software fault.

I installed their Software Version 1:2:1 in place of 1:1:6

Am not sure whether G.M.T. application and channel sorting are 100% but STB owner happy with the free service. Numen.
