Of course I kept the old one! Much to my wife's chagrin, I never throw anything away. I'll try the tweak, as you suggest, but thanks for the promise of a new LNB. I'm not going anywhere near the roof today - it's raining hard. Maybe tomorrow.
I've just noticed that if I switch from an H channel, eg Reality TV, to a V channel, eg Sky News, the signal sometimes clears for a brief time (0.5 seconds or so) then disappears - like when automatic tuning 'overshoots' the station. So I still wonder if adjusting the skew will do the trick. Remember that I have no problems with satellites close to due S, but the Astras, which are more degrees off, give most of the bad signal responses.
