Sky strange issue help please

Ok so I have made and ran many cables in my time and have never seen a problem like this. At my dad's house he has 2 sly boxes and a sly plus box (all original). Suddenly the plus box stopped working no signal lock null. The other two boxes working fine.

Initially I switched the boxes around and the box worked fine in the other room and the box that was in the other room same issue in the non working room. Ok so must be the cable. Brand new rg6 cable ran from dish to box... same issues. Ok so maybe the lnb is faulty. Swapped the port on the lnb to one of the known working ports .. nope still nothing lol. Surely the brand new cable is not faulty? I can't think what else to try. Dish is aligned ok signal strength is high 80s on both other boxes. Any ideas before I kick the dish of the wall.

might have no choice but to try another cable?
just to make it clear sat is on 28.2 and not another one in listings?
 
Yeah the sat hasn't been changed frok 28.2 the box works in the kitchen input. it's a brand new cable. Do you think it could be at fault it's the only thing I can see have tested all other sources?

Only other thing I thought was can the lnb only handle so many connections like if 2 are already in will tha t effect the 3rd and 4th if it has become faulty

if lnb was faulty and you swapped over both pairs-2 wires the fault would go to other box,bad cable or a break in cable as same issues=no signal would be seen.
quad or octo lnb all should work, i presume no sky q in use which use a different lnb.
 
No just standard sky with genuine sub. Yeah that's what I thought regarding lnb. It seems like it's the cable but it's a brand new cable I don't know.

Your l.n.b is not switching between the v and h side off the transponder On those selected ports Had the same fault recently octo l.n.b fitted cables supplying various stbs Cable l.n.b test completed with various meters look at the results
