Last night I watched CNBC and left the receiver on that channel, when I switched it off. During the night there was a pretty powerful storm, with thunder and lightning. This morning, when I switched the receiver back on, there was no signal on CNBC. I've tried several channels and only 11509 V was getting any signal, from all the Astra 19.2E satellite. I tried to move the HH motor, but it didn't, tried to send it to 28.2E, but nothing, it didn't move. I tried to move it step by step, with no success. I went to the dish, and used the manual button on the HH motor. IT MOVED, from E-W, and back, works both directions. I've resetted it several times, and went back to the receiver to try and move it. Still nothing. I went back to the dish and  I manually realigned it to Astra 19.2E. Still, only 11509V was working. Then I tried a new twin Universal LNB, used for Dolce. As with the Invacom, only 11509V was working. I then looked at the LNB menu on my receiver. There are 3 predefined types of LNB:LNB Type 1 - oscillating frequency 9750 - 10600LNB Type 2 - oscillating frequency 9750 - 10700LNB Type 3 - oscillating frequency 9750 - 10750 and there is a custom type as well, where the oscillating frequency can be inputed. I have never messed around with these settings, because my satellite installation was working fine. The default setting is Type 1. If  Type 1 is selected I can only get 11509V. If i select Type 2 I can get signal from 10700 -11700. Same is with Type 3, 10700 - 11700. The frequencies between 11700 - 12750 have no signal, regardless of the LNB Type I choose.I took my receiver in the other room, and plugged it in to the small dish, pointed at Hellas. Same here.  The frecquencies between 11700 - 12750 have no signal. I took the receiver to the neighbours dish, pointed at 19.2E as well.  Same thing. The frecquencies between 11700 - 12750 have no signal, regardless of the LNB Type I choose. I then borrowed his fta receiver, and connected to my 1.2m dish. All frequencies are working, I especially tried those between 11700-12750, and they all worked. His receiver was quite old, and it didn't have an option to control an HH motor, so I couldn't check and see if the motor is still working. I presume, if the LED on the HH is green and I can manually move it using the button, then it's fine.My question is my receiver high band "broken"? Did the somehow the storm (thunder) affected this particular part? Could an electrical  engineer fix it? I look around for an HD receiver, I just need one for the FTA channels at 28.2E and to move my HH motor between 19.2E-30W. The lowest price is an Amiko (<a href="http://www.elstar.ro/?page=shop/browse&category_id=ae87faa4ffe11e38432b5aae9a30f0c0" target="_blank">ELSTAR srl - Oradea - importator si distribuitor antene satelit & accesorii - SHOP ONLINE</a> ). I have no idea what else to test, or how to test. I've spoken with my neighbors and some home appliances were affected during the storm (electrical boilers, indoor wireless phones, tvs).If that's the case, I could consider myself "lucky".Thank you for your help.</blockquote>
