Very irritating problem. Hopefully someone out there has a solution. We had a power cut last week and when the power came back my Beovision could no longer find the satellite signal that I used for Freesat. It just says no signal found. I've unplugged everything, turned the tv on and off, nothing seems to work.
Nothing else has changed and the dish hasn't moved. Any thoughts?
You don't say what BeoVision you have or if you are using a Set Top Box or built in?

I'm using the built in freesat on the Beovision. It happened with my Avant 55 MK 1 a week ago - power went off and when it came back, no signal. I upgraded to the Avant 55 NG, disconnected the satellite cable from the wall and when I connected the new Avant, the signal was back. But the power went off again this week and now signal is gone again. I tried unplugging the satellite cable from the wall again but this time, the signal is not coming back. Any thoughts?

It's always worth checking the f-connector in case it is loose or there is a short, but given the symptoms and history you have described (same intermittent issue with two different televisions) my first suspicion would be a faulty LNB on your satellite dish (that's the horn shaped part on the end of the arm).
I'm assuming here that you have no satellite multiswitch in your setup - which would usually only be required in a large setup with multiple feeds (in general, more than eight) to different rooms. Assuming you can easily reach your dish, have a look to see if there are any spare outputs, as you could try swapping the cable to one of those if necessary (although if the LNB is faulty, this only helps sometimes).
Otherwise, the easiest option is usually to call in someone with access to a decent satellite meter (not one of the cheap 'needle' or 'row of LEDs' type meters from the local DIY store!) and ask them to test the signal at the LNB and again at the incoming feed that you are connecting to the television.
Kind regards,
Martin.

Thanks Martin. Much appreciated.
