Hello all,
Please i own a Strong Satellite Model: SRT4652. Some channels were not showing, so i did like i saw others do. I loosened the reciever, checked it for wasp nests, blew it clean, put some water in it, shaked it, and replaced it.
Now to my utter dismay and horror, only the Ku band channels are showing, the remaining (C-band) are not showing. Please what can i do?

Well what a stupid thing to do then, think yourself lucky that you still have something working. What possessed you to put water inside a piece of electrical equipment?

In answer to your initial question then now that everyone is wiser, have you tried rescanning for the missing channels?
