Any satellite gurus here?

I have a HTPC that has a HD Sat card in it. Been working perfect for over a year, but as of the weekend BBC HD & Luxe TV HD break up constantly.

I've ordered a new LNB off eBay hoping it's something simple.

All other channels are unaffected though, so any ideas?

Maybe your dish is out of alignment, and these channels just happen to be weakest or most affected? Suggest you check the signal strength.

First place I would look is the connectors, make sure the ends are good and re-make if needed. Check for water in the cable at the LNB end. If it's still bad then see if the dish has moved.

My LNB turned up this morning, maybe fit it when I get home. I do have a guy coming Friday, so may wait until he dignoses it.

Thank you for the replies.

It's all the one as unclipped and replaced and hey presto. What's that dial on the back of the LNB you can move?

proberbly the offset, some LNB's you twist the whole thing some have a dial. If it works then id leave it alone

Skew, used to be set to 3 for around here but can't remember if that was a zone issue or what.
