I have an 80cm dish pointed at Astra 2 to pickup the bbc channels. Has worked perfectly until now. There is near 100% signal. However, as of the last two weeks, at night time, the picture goes blue but the sound is ok. During the day, theres no problem.
I don't understand whats going on here. Its not a case of losing picture due to high winds as this has been happening on the stillest of nights. Furthermore, how can only the picture be lost and not the sound. This - and the fact that its perfect during the daytime - would suggest that it cant be a lose connection.

The only thing i can think of is that it might have something to do with the cheap Lidl cabling that came with the dish?? I'm due to move the dish shortly anyway - and this will involve using a fresh run of ct100 cable. Should this be the issue, then it will be sorted anyways.

Its not a case of a particular channel having changed video ID - as it happens on ALL FTA channels.

Otherwise, I can't think what it could be?
