    Hello
    I have three Konig sat boxes and a 8 way LNB,I had been using these with no issue for the past few months with good signal quality etc.
    In the last two weeks ,I am finding that the ITV channels,more 4 e4 and bloomberg are either gone or are breaking up.Some of the +1 versions of these channels are ok,and I have found another itv1 that was ok.
    I have re terminated the fconnectors to the LNB and made sure they are clean and properly attached.

    Signal Intensity on ASTRA2 is 77% and signal quality goes between 67%,70%,71%
    Cabling is shielded.
    Have done a rescan on the boxes.
    Check with the sat finder to make sure the dish is aligned ok,signal is strong.

    Anyone any idea of what might be causing this
    For reference some of the channels not working properly

    ITV2 10759/V/22000 PID 3332/3333/3332 -Breaking Up.
    ITV+1 1089/V/22000 PID 3352/3353/3352 -Fine picture clear.

    MORE4 and E4 10739/V/22000 PID 3332/3333/3332 -Breaking up

    Bloomberg 11426/V/27500 PID 2309/2311/2305


    Thanks

    as far as im aware this is to do with broadband interfereance, (probably happens more between 6pm and 11.30pm in the evening).Apparantly the frequencies that E4 ,Channel4, More4, and Film 4 work off of are very similar to many broadband providers.

    On sky you can tune in uk versions which solve problem

    I turned off my IBB wireless mast,no difference,turned off my in house wireless network and dect phones,same.
    I even turned off the 12v power to my Ariel for RTE etc,still no difference.

    I am using the freesat service,I did select ITV1 Border as opposed to ITV London and sure enough its clear.but your right More4 E4,Film4 Men and Motors,Bloomberg etc all breaking up.

    Thanks

    Nothing to do with your broadband system, its to do with the freqs the providers are transmitting on are so close to those of the affected channel,nothing can be done im afraid.
    Not sure if you can manually tune in on freesat?
    If so try tuning to uk regions on c4 e4 m4 f4, as far as itv1+1,itv2 there are no regional variations.
    You can get the frequencies on lyngsat.com
