I keep an old Sky-HD box which you can pick up for peanuts for aligning a dish it’s cheaper than any of the cheap meters and displays signal quality and quality as actual percentages. Use simply add the transponder using add channels.
I have a couple of these boxes on the mainland. I’ll definitely bring one of them back with me next time I’m over

Mainland – Where are you located ?
Most of the UK channels were transferred to UK spot channels (including the home transponder) a while ago.
Depending on your location you may now need a much larger dish or the further South and East you are you might be only able to use the Europe beam transponders.

I can view channel 111 (ITV HD)
111 is the lcn you get in Freesat mode, in non freesat mode the channel number can be very different.
ITV HD Central West 11097 V 23000 3/4 DVB-S2 8PSK
ITV HD Granada 11097 V 23000 3/4 DVB-S2 8PSK
ITV HD London 11097 V 23000 3/4 DVB-S2 8PSK
ITV HD Meridian South 11097 V 23000 3/4 DVB-S2 8PSK
ITV HD Anglia East 11097 V 23000 3/4 DVB-S2 8PSK
ITV HD Yorkshire West 11097 V 23000 3/4 DVB-S2 8PSK
ITV HD Tyne Tees 11053 H 23000 3/4 DVB-S2 8PSK
The most likely is 11097 V but could be 11053 H
Do you get Tyne Tees news when viewing the local news.
It’s good news at least you can get UK spot beam transponders.
If you can identify which it might be a issue with horizontal polarised channels or vertical ones. Not enough info to find out which though horizontal ones are likely.

Have tried what you suggest.

Polarisation V
Symbol Rate 23000
Transmission DVB-S2 (8PSK)
FEC 3/4
I get exactly the same as your screenshot. When I try this on Horizontal there are no channels found
11052 finds no channels on either H or V.
I am in the Isle of Harris. My configuration is just a standard sky dish with a 4 way LNB. No external signs of water damage and all connections are good. Looks like I won’t have signal meter until early next week..
Thanks for your help on this.
Guessing your lnb is shot. Easiest way is to simply swap it for a new one. Assuming you have a sky type dish they are as cheap as chips on e-bay.
Just ordered one. Will update when it arrives next week sometime.
Update: Replacing LNB has fixed the issue.
Thanks for help with this issue
