Could be your box. I have recently had a lot of problems with my setup, however after correcting all of that and getting back on track, my box is still not working properly. I get the same situation, shows such signals but no picture, to fix this I either have to press record and then change...

Well it's nice to know, and hopefully a bigger dish will do the job in the future. I must say I am quite surprised that I do get the odd flicker (especially this far out) albeit on this channel only in perfect weather, however I dare say this is due to my location I.E. The very north of Poland...

Good to know, well I looked at kingofsat because lyngsat didn't have all of the channels. I keep checking my channels out of interest because of the flickering I get on Alibi HD

I have checked this in various weather so far, as we have had all sorts here in the last 24 hours (rain, heavy rain, storms, sunny and clear), and in very good weather, I can get about 3 - 4 channels on the UK spot beam based on the info from lyngsat and kingofsat (albeit not BBC or ITV) just...

In danger of opening a can of worms here (as I'm sure this has been discussed before and could be endlessly spoken about) I don't really understand why there is any need to make anything other than any BBC related content restricted to a UK spot beam. Being that BBC is the only thing in the UK...

Ah, well that explains why I get these channels then, and yes I get them in HD only. Where can I find a full up to date list of channels on the UK spot beam? I had a look online but only found a Wikipedia list which I think is out of date as it doesn't have the likes of Dave HD, Alibi HD Etc...

Thank you all Well Alibi HD had a slight flicker! but other than that nothing. Oddly enough however I am getting ITV2, 3 & 4, E4 and More4 (These I therefore presume are not on the UK spot?) undoubtedly I say, it's sods law now I have these they will probably move with Astra 2G later this year...

Well this morning I am over the moon :-D I went off to the DIY store and bought a twin LNB, came back, installed it and of course the channels I had lost were back. However I am more than pleasantly surprised as now I can receive even more channels than when I installed it! The original LNB...

Well I will give it ago too when I'm replacing it too see if that helps. It's a case of for my particular fault finding I would of been there for ages if I unplugged it every time, up, down, on, off, swap LNB, etc. I just put some gloves off after I got the shock anyways, but now I know, and...

I think I shall do just that

Ok well that reassures me, however I was unaware I might feel a shock from the cable with it being of such a low voltage, mind you come to think of it is wet, and raining and the LNB and cable were obviously damp from this so... Well I think I have ruled out the cable by testing both cables on...

Yes the box was on but should I be feeling any shock from such a small current? Either way If so that makes sense. Swapped the cables same results with both the single and duel LNB With the duel and cables swapped - Same result, not receiving all channels, and signal the same either connection...

Well another update and slightly worrying as I got a shock I'll try to keep this clear and concise. I again today, as I did 2 days ago, connected the satellite signal finder. Again nothing but the smallest bits of interference which were most likely general interference. I then, as I also did...

Well this morning/mid afternoon it happend again the box seem to be picking up no signal. So I popped the top off a I have found 2 leaky CAPS pics below, could this be the problem on this board below?

Well I will do some investigating as for Azimuth I have a feeling this could be slightly out, as for elevation I think this is correct as there's very small room for error when I was setting elevation. Slightly wrong and if would lose enough signal to lose picture on my box! My LNB has quite a...
