All of a sudden a few days ago I noticed low signal on some vertical polarization transponders. This screengrab shows everything just drops around 11700V. It's the same on all satellites. Would this indicate that my LNB is dying? It's an Inverto Black Ultra Twin and I'd guess it's around 2 years old.

Certainly it looks like at the switch to High band it dies, I'm assuming this is a PC card? Try a new LNB, they are not expensive, but perhaps try another brand, I've stopped using the Black ultras now, they were causing issues with lower strength transponders. Could of course be an issue with the card as well.

Yup I'm using a TBS card. I really hope it's the LNB and not the card! Not cheap to replace the card!
Is there a different LNB you recommend?

Sounds like it's quite common then!
