Hi all
Noticed last night that BBC 1 and ITV picture kept breaking up, and is still doing it this morning. In fact ITV hd has gone altogether, but I can receive the non hd ITV channel on 111. It seems ok on the BBC hd news channel though.
All a bit odd…
Any thoughts?

Unfortunately now I’ve completely lost BBC1 both hd and sd. Just not receiving a signal at all.

It could be a cable problem (particularly the connections), an LNB problem, a dish alignment problem or a problem with the box. Either work through the list of possibilities in the order I set out or get a specialist in.

Odd thing is I’m getting most other channels perfectly fine…

So give us a few examples of channels that you can receive and those that you can’t (say half a dozen of each).

Ok Martin.
I can’t get BBC 1 in hd or SD.
I can’t get BBC 2 in hd but it’s ok in SD (channel 180)
No ITV hd but ok in SD (channel 111)
C4 is ok in both hd and sd
5hd is fine too.
BBC news hd is ok also
I’ve just done a box reset and checked cables etc still no change. And when I was restarting the box after the reset the signal test came up fine.
All a bit strange…

BBC 1 SD is regional; which region do you normally receive? The thing that strikes me is that the channels you can get are all Horizontal polarisation while the ones you can’t get are Vertical polarisation. I suspect an LNB problem; not expensive and not difficult to replace.
I’m in the west midlands.
Think you may have something there with the polarisation…

BBC 1 West Midlands is vertically polarised.
I can get BBC 1 on some of the regional channels.
Etc I can get 954 but not 953. 950 and 951 are ok but not 952 (which is the east mids channel)
At least I can get BBC 1 for now…
I have an old Foxsat HDR box do you reckon it might be worth trying that out?

Some BBC 1 SD channels are horizontally polarised and some vertically.

You lose nothing by trying it.
Update: Tried another box and had the same issue. So replaced LNB today. Fixed.
Thanks for the advice Martin.

Thanks for coming back and reporting the outcome; excellent news.
Thanks for the advice Martin.
I am always nervous about giving advice about satellite reception issues as I have never owned a satellite receiver but really glad it worked out well.
