hi all,

little help required, when doing a full scan using 6 satellites, my box is now only finding approximitely half the channels it used to, my main viewing is sky uk, where its only scanning approx half these channels it used to, tested box on another fully working system and scanned fine so can rule box or tuner fault out,

problem is when i use satfinder on original set up, it says i have 97 percent signal on every channel ive tested or viewed so im stumped on what the problem could actually be, any ideas guys, much appreciated

just to add ive tried 4 different images all with same results

So you tested the box on another dish is that what you mean via system ?

If that the case its alignment or your LNB .
 
If box works fne elsewhere, then fault is likely to be with your lnb/switch/cabling
Or even PSU.
 
yes mate tested it on a seperate fully working system and it scanned fine,only used 28.2 to test but it found all the channels that was missing, would if still give 97 percent signal even if lnb was broken or dish not aligned? thanks again

thanks for reply, how could the psu cause of fault of this kind im intruged? could do retest on the workiong system as i did use a alternate psu

It could be the lnb not band switch or even a polarity been down so say just getting the horizontal channels and not the Vertical channels.
 
thanks for all help, resolved earlier reterminated connections found a piece of coax had snapped off in tuner so removed and redone all connections working fine now!!
