You might want to check your spelling of 'regards' . . .

Did you only lose these channels in the last day or 2?

Dish likely to be out of alignment slightly - probably due to recent weather.

I have seen an LNB fail for one polarisation but was OK for the other (can't remember which was which)

removing that LNB - and shaking it - confirmed some water had got in
