BBC channels gone AWOL ?

    I'm using a satellite dish for UK channels and set top box for Irish TV reception. Did my rescan a month ago and all went well, thanks to help from Boarders on this Forum. In recent days however all my BBC channels (1-4) are down , no problems with ITV/Channel4 /Channel5 or the RTE's/TV3/TnaG - just wondering if if its a technical issue with BBC transmission as all other channels fine ? I had the BBC's reception fine until Monday I think ? I live in north midlands area.
    Any views ?
    Thanks

    Are you sure the BBC channels you lost are actually satellite channels? What does info tell you WRT frequency?

    BBC's are back now but a lot of interference - distorted/fragmented picture and sound
    menu says - All BBC channels 530000/8M V, pid 101/102/101 (BBC1) & pid201/202/201 (BBC2) whatever that means ??

    530000 kHz would be the frequency for BBC on Freeview from Brougher Mtn. So terrestrial, not satellite.

    Its a Ferguson Ariva HD 120 Combo Receiver, dunno what the problem could be - BBC reception was fine until a few days ago, picture now from the BBC channels is distorted , as if some interference ?

    How long is your list of channels? Do you have ITV or UTV?

    Yes, if you want reliable reception of UK channels, make sure you are receiving them via satellite. I would delete any terrestrial duplicates.
