[QUOTE="rolfw, post: 19316, member: 175057"] Unfortunately being able to test the voltage at the LNB end of the cable will only tell you whether the cable and connectors are good. You will still not know whether it is alignment or the LNB. What you can do, is have someone watching the signal strength on the receiver when it is showing nothing and put your hand over the LNB, this should give you a small level reading, try it on both polarities. You can test the voltage with a 24 volt light bulb, and rather than get someone in to change the LNB, why not buy one yourself, they are a doddle to replace, just make sure that you have some self amalgamating tape to seal the F connector. Is the dish motorised? [/QUOTE]
