Sky Default Transponder Problem I have reprinted this article from the Roquetas magazine "La Revista" since it seems to be a common problem in parts of Spain. Sky don't intentionally broadcast to mainland Europe so, especially in parts of Spain, the Sky signals are hard to receive. If your Sky box can't get the so-called default transponder then your box will say that it can't receive a signal, even though it can probably get other channels perfectly well. A common solution is to program the box to look for a different default transponder. Your installer may well have done this when he installed your system but power cuts, for example, can make your box forget and it will revert back to the old frequency. Here's how you change it. 1. Unplug your Sky DigiBox from the mains for 1 minute Plug back in and wait with the red light on the front of the box for 2 minutes Now press the Sky button on your remote. The light will turn green 2. Press Services on the remote 3. In swift succession press 4 then 0 then 1 then Select This will take you into the hidden Installers Menu 4. Press 2 – Default Transponder 5. If the Frequency says 11778 then this should be changed to 12129 as follows. Press 1 2 1 2 9 then go down to the Save New Settings on the screen menu and press Select. (If you make a mistake press the Backup button once and then press 1 2 1 2 9 again.) Press Backup until you get to the channel search screen and wait for a minute or two. When you see the channel 998 screen, press 1 0 1 and you should get BBC1.
