[QUOTE="jonno, post: 530589, member: 294606"] I just had to have my LNB replaced (Paphos, Cyprus). The symptoms were that BBC and ITV channels were pixelated during the day and early evening although generally later on they seemed to improve. Of course, these are the weakest signals I think. All the Sky channels were fine. The weather was fine. The engineer replaced the LNB and also checked dish (3.1m) alignment (which was OK). He told me that LNBs generally only last about 2 years in Cyprus as they get fried by the sun! (My dish was installed just over two years ago). Not sure how true that is? Anyway, the whole cost was 200 Euros so I'll be doing it myself in future! I also took my Sky + box out from the UK to see if it would work and it did, with my full package card still in it from the UK I could receive all the channels (sports, movies etc.). It complained about no telephone being connected on installation but then carried on OK. After a few days I then got "No satellite signal", but a reboot and rescan and it was all back again. Had to do this again a couple of days later - not sure why? Anyway, am now considering buying a Sky + box on ebay and installing it out in Cyprus on my next visit - presumably I'll have to buy a viewing card out there so that I won't need to keep rebooting etc? Does anyone know? Cheers, jonno [/QUOTE]
