Hello again all,
Sorry to repost buy I think it might be useful feedback to all the respondents to my first post on this topic. I would also like to solve the problem with the original box with the help of you good people.
Just a little update and for future reference of all supporting postings. SUCCESS. I swapped the Sky digibox for another spare that I have (Sky+ Amstrad DRX 180) and pointed the dish 146 azimuth bearing (good compass) and 25.6 elevation, switched on box and it was already pointing at the satellite. I knew I was doing it right. Admittedly the signal strength was improved by some minor shoves.
The problem is with the original box (Amstrad DRX 550) probably software is my guess. I thought it was a bit suspicious that I was getting no signal strength reading at all. As stated earlier it worked fine first switch on but not since. I would like to solve the problem of the older box if possible as it is nice and small and we only have a small van, so if anyone can help I would appreciate it.
Dead chuffed that I can find the satellite with no finder or signal detector even with digibox turned off, but a bit miffed that yesterday I ordered a bl**dy finder.
