[QUOTE="Diggertrev, post: 1077627, member: 414253"] Hi everyone thanks for all the advice. I have just ordered a new LNB as my first step of eliminating the problem. I decided that it's not that expensive and it appears that the failure of this part is not uncommon so even if not needed a spare will be handy. Reading all suggestions I did take the cover off and checked the LNB there were a few spider webs and such so I cleaned them and started checking the coaxial cable back to the decoder. The coaxial had a joiner not far down the line and I removed what looked like red electrical tape and undone it no sign of corrosion and looked dry but noticed that he had run the cable inside the gutter so it would have been in the water at times for sure. The coax goes down and under the house so have not made it to the other end as yet LOL. The LNB looked clean and in good order so we will see about it,s condition when the new one arrives. I was looking on the Lyngsat site and I am confused it looks like the Cambodian channels I am looking for may have been moved to others satellites I am not sure as APSTAR 6 is the right option now or not. And I don't know how to decipher the LYNGSAT page to know what to input in my set-up to find and try another satellite. Big learning curve coming up but enjoying the challenge :) I will keep you all informed of the progress if any. Should make for some amusing reading if nothing else LOL.
