Thanks for the replies,
I've not checked in for weeks as I thought I had notification set for replies to the topic, but apparently I didn't.
@wanann: Thanks for the offer Adrian, but I think this may require a little more than a re-alignment. Once we've got the system stable you'll be a useful person to know.
@Zorba: You clearly know you're stuff and you have the same Freesat box my Dad has over there, although currently he's using a Pace2600C1.
Is this something that can be fixed/repaired/made good?
I'm really not sure what he can get, he seems to be watching what he can get and just ignoring what no-longer works.
I'll be over there from this Thursday (late) for 2 weeks and will check out what channels he can/can't get on Friday. Are there any channels he should be able to get I can look out for that would help deduce whether it's certain transponders (is that the right word?) he can no longer get channels from?
I appreciate it would take you half a day, but do you thing you'd be able to put it right if we could agree a suitable price? I'll be able to give a LOT more detail from next Friday, things like available channels, type of cable and anything else you'd like me to check.
Thanks,
Mark.

...The original DH dish comes with different struts for the LNB and the rear mount on your dish is not the original,they don't even fit on the supplied pole properly, so they have a bit of freeplay in strong winds which is not good as a movement of even 1 inch will lose bbc.

Your dad can not get bbc1 south. He probably means bbc1 london on 974.(we can only get bbc1 london,scotland ireland and wales). ITV meridian E is the weakest out of all the itvs although it should work in Peyia,especially if you have a pace 2600.There are stronger transmitters that you can tune manually. His "friend" seemed to know how to but he must have got the instructions mixed up.
I am based in Limassol and it would use up half a day to come and sort it out so i am trying to help you here. Do you know if ch 180,(ITV4+1) works all night because if it does then you can have an ITV that does work.
