A little less analogue, and a lot more crap.

Are all four polarity/bands working ?

What is the LNB and what other low signal satellites can you get with the dish ?

LNB is an Invacom SNF-031 Universal Single LNB 0.3dB C120 flange, i have all the channel 5s all the channel 4s, all the BBCs HGTVs, pbs america,true crime, legend, Stop Press, just had a look and all back except itv3 itv4 itv 2+1. nope gone again, seems if i reboot the box they come back except the 3 i mentioned untill i change channel and they go again untill i restart the TM 5402 M4 which is a week old now. you lost me on the 4 polarity bands, thought astra just used vert and horizontal, and no LH/RH Circular polarization

Just setup the old TM 5402 M2 and all channels work, so must be the new M4 at fault, but what could cause this, it switches H/V ok so no clue this end, done a full reset still the same, so before i go to all the grief of sending this back to the uk, any clue as to what i could look out for, just seems a bit strange to me.

Be aware of the impending closedown of some of ITV's Standard Definition channels Link
