Anyone else seeing this? I seem to be having trouble picking up certain channels. Not really sure of the pattern, but looks like Astra 12285 V (Sky One, Atlantic and others). I can get sky sports 1 (12110.00H or possibly 12148.00H), sky sports 2 is patchy (not sure, 12148.00H or 12207.00V). Various others in similar ranges I can get, sky livingit (what is that?) at 12188.00H okay. Wondering if the box is on its way out (well, it is on its way out) or this is a general problem at the minute. Doesn't seem to be a subscription problem (other paid channels like gold are okay, well, okay from a technical POV).

Thanks, yes have been through all the various reset options. The planner is messed up too, which that usually fixes, but not this time, think it may be on its last legs.
Might give that another, ours is on a balcony, so easy access. Tried the vertical yesterday, improved some of the glitchier channels a bit, but not the unavailable ones, however didn't try horizontal and it seems there's a tiny E-W spread in the satellites. We have a convoluted arrangement where our subscription is through our landlord, might just see if he's willing to cancel it and we can get something else set up (or even subscribe ourselves and finally get a new box).
All depends who you get on the phone though, they have the power to sort you out but it depends on whether they're willing...
Rain can affect satellite telly a fair bit - the raindrops are about the same size as the signal wavelengths blocking the signal. If your antenna isn't perfectly aligned you can get screen freezes in the rain.
I sorted my issues, by simply unplugging for a few minutes, and restarting the box.
NO more issues.

Not moving out quite yet...
I said maybe.....
My parents did have one that used to eat all the honeysuckle by the front door until it reached the point it was unable to take off.
