About 48 hours ago France 24 which had previously been received perfectly says “Bad or no signal”. I can find no reference on the Internet to the channel being off the air and nothing has changed on my receiver as far as I know. All other channels continue working as before.
Also, my Menu skips over the Satellite / Tuning item preventing it from being selected.
I am running Custom Firmware:v 4.1.2.
Any ideas on what has happened?

Welcome to our Forum
Our member REPASSAC may no more, but I suspect it has moved to a transponder on new Astra satellite and therefore more tightly focussed on UK.
Edit:
Have Food Network (149) and CBS reality (135) for example also disappeared?
Cannot be sure but mu signal levels are about what I expect from a UK beam. I think all the UK beam levels are down a bit in this very hot weather, is this my imagination or could such non-rainy weather reduce reception in edge ares?
Where are you located gigaday?
Was your unit recording when you attempted the retune?
Edit: hope the satellite TV sites catch up with these changes soon.

Overheated LNB?

Overheated LNB?
Did not think of that – temperature reached 42c yesterday. Invero says “Operating Temperature – 30 °C ~ + 60 °C” However the LMB does get full sun – so overheating quite possible.
Will do tests over a number of days.
Thanks Graham.
Thanks everyone for your help.
I did a re-tune (I think it must have been recording on the previous attempt) and succeeded in wiping all my channels, because with the poor signal level I received the “Invalid postcode” error.
Fortunately my neighbour has a 180cm dish so I re-tuned using that.
I think the frequency (mHz) of France 24 has changed since the previous tuning but even with the 180cm dish I did not get a watch-able picture. And on my smaller dish I get mostly nothing.
Why do they want to be so precious about who can view their content? It’s all on the Internet.

I guess you must be further west than myself (32460) and the other poster.

Pretty warm here in Cyprus, it’s me that’s overheated here
Hi Repassac.
I’m at 47250 and despite current heatwave no problems with reception

You are about 100km north of me.
Here the last few days were fine but I think Graham may have something with overheating, my LNB is in full sun and is a Inverto black Quattro. It was to hot to touch when I tried.
