[QUOTE="Montaillac Man, post: 1095014, member: 415631"] Thanks for all the advice. I have checked all the cables and connections. At the LNB end they were all clean and still shiny, the dish is in quite a sheltered spot away from prevailing weather. I do have a signal checker, and the strength was fine on all the cables through to the receivers. The only thing I did discover is that the new Freesat 4k box is whacking out close to 18v on each feed even when in standby mode. The Manhattan only pushes out voltage when it’s turned on, and not when it’s on standby. The dominant head is the 19.2 degrees one, but I’m not sure if that makes any difference. Both boxes have had no trouble in picking up the channels during a scan. As I have all the channels working on both boxes I’m not inclined to try switching across to the 23 degree head just now. So everything is spick and span, I guess it’s just a question of if the LNB itself is acting up. If I get the problem again I think I’ll invest in a new one. Thanks again, and if you’ve any other ideas, let me know. [/QUOTE]
