Sky digibox loss of reception, no signal

Advice on what might be wrong, how to fix it

A couple of weeks ago my Skydigibox, Thomson DV3, started playing up. Certain programmes showed a message "No satellite signal being received" 29.
I have rebooted the system several times, i.e. press reset button, unplug from mains, wait a minute or two, reconnect to mains, hold button till all four light come on and message appears on screen, but keep getting the same answer. I tried this on three consecutive days and got no where. I have taken my digibox to a mates and also got the same result, "No signal being received" 29!
What options have I got left.
Any help would be appreciated.

Getting it fixed sounds like a sensible option.

Its the Electrolytics on the PSU...

If you want to repair it, satcure.co.uk sell replacement PSUs.

I cant Find the DV3 PSU on satcures website.

I am presuming that this is a standard Sky receiver and NOT the HD receiver.

Can we have more Info on the receiver?

Just guessing, buy the 'DV3' might actually be the 'DVB' logo on the front of the box, like this one. I googled around (not that I'm sat bored at work with nothing to do right now) and a few people have reported problems on avforums and digitalspy with a 'Thomson DV3' and it is actually the model DSI4212. If this is the case, satcure don't do the complete replacement PSU, just a kit to repair it, but these are cheap as chips on eBay, so may be easiest to buy a replacement box.
