When you can only receive a limited number of sky channels. How to diagnose the fault and in this case replace the dish LNB and align it.

Thanks Nigel. I will let you know if its working. Yes a few channels are not working so I getting a replacement LNB. All the best for now.

Hi i have a spare LNB and it does not fit within the bracket what could be the issue.

Good job, remember to pull the plastic cover down on the LNB to protect those connectors from the elements.

Useful info, cheers :)
Not had to get up the ladder for mine yet. I think I'd better check that cover on the feedhorn though...

Greetings Sir. I was into FTA back in 2010 .I used two sonicview SV-8000hd receivers.One of them has the 8psk module. I pulled them both out of the closet last week and they work fine. Question. Are my two receivers outdated to use today for FTA?

Good video.
I love all satellite related stuff.

Useful video ( with no annoying music ) Thanks. You have taken the mystery out LNB installation, it looks a lot simpler than I thought it would be, but I haven't attempted it yet. I have been trying to find a video explaining how to install and align a complete satellite dish, I know it has to point south / east, but I am wondering how much clear line of sight it would need towards the actual satellite?

Great informative video, do you have a method for setting the inclination of the dish, my brackets don't have the usual markings in degrees, thanks.

Very useful for me, I lost the signal to my dish and on inspection discovered the exact damage you had on your LNB, have yet to buy a new one but going for an octo, is there anything I should know about which one to buy

Just one thing the connections on the lnb should be sealed with tape or there should be a cover on the lnb itself.

Hello Nigel.
I got a humax cr 5510 sat receiver and connected it to the TV.
It shows the tuning failed.

Can you plz help me ❤❤❤❤

Trying to watch the England match tonight on itv unfortunately no signal, as I'm watching your video it started pouring with rain and just like that the signal came back, time will tell if it stays...
Thanks for the info much appreciated.

What app do you use to check on the lnb?

[jimc]

my neighbour if building an extension and it has just got to the height of my sky dish. Now I am getting the no signal message, presumably I will have to have my dish repositioned. I am afraid that I don't have the confidence to do it my self

[cornieviljoen]

When it rains, or strong wind. No signal sign comes up

[terencebarrett]

And folks "that's how ya do it, ""now can you do owt with programs

[jimf]

Seams very complicated compared to Sky Glass. Connect to Wi-Fi and get every channel perfectly, no matter the weather - it is the future lol.
