Can’t see FTA/ terrestrial channels after moving house

[harto]

Hi. I’ve got a H2S running wooshbuild and Eyepeeteevee via the xtreamtv plugin.
I moved house yesterday and I knew the xtreamtv stuff wouldn’t work because I don’t have internet at the new place but I thought all the regular FTA stuff would still work. However when I connected the box to the 2 cables from the sky dish no FTA channels came on. I’ve done an automatic scan and it detects 82 channels nearly all of which I can’t watch (some of them are sky channels). The only one I seem able to watch is ITV. BBC1, BBC2, CH4 and CH5 aren’t even detected. If I can watch ITV it doesn’t seem right I can’t watch bbc and the other terrestrial channels. Any ideas?

Wonder if previous owner had sky Q as that limits what is scanned through.Might need lnb changed on sat dish.

probably wrong type of lnb on sky dish. perhaps it is for sky q.

I moved house last year and had the same issue. As @urie states it could be to do with the wrong LNB on your sky dish. If the previous owner had sky Q the LNB will be a sky Q one and wont work with your box.

I had to purchase a new LNB and swap it over. It was really easy and straight forward to do.

Id advise this:
Visiblewave Hybrid LNB 6 Output Hybrid LNB | 2 x Wideband + 4 x Quad | For use with Sky Q, Sky+, SkyHD or Freesat: Amazon.co.uk: TV
This is a hybrid LNB that will allow you to have a sky Q connection if you ever did want it, but it also has 4 inputs for traditional satellite feed.

But if you're not interested in the sky q inputs then just grab one of these:
Visiblewave 4K Quad LNB 4 Output HD for SKY HD / Freesat HD with Bracket: Amazon.co.uk: Audio & HiFi

Hi All. Thanks for the spot on advice. It was indeed a skyq lnb. Swapped it with a regular quad lnb and all sorted
