Only recieving Horizontally polarized Channels

Dotts

I have just installed a second dish and to cut a long story short, after troubleshooting for a few hours i only seem to be picking up Horizontally polarized channels, i've checked the channel list on wiki for Astra 28.2e and all the V channels are missing from a scan on the new dish, the signal from the sat is as good as i can get it i think

14.9 dB
AGC 97%
BER 0%
SNR 92%

but only on H channels

The receiver picks up all channels on the old dish.

Any ideas what the issue could be, the new dish is in pretty good shape , it was never used before , just had it in the garage for a few years, could it be i just dont have it perfectly level?

It's almost certainly the LNB (it's a common failing in them). Swap it out and full service shall commence

Try the other working box on suspect dish to confirm a dodgy LNB.

Yes, and the fact you had tried it on both dishes confirms that the issue is at the dish end

Thanks for the advice, I swapped the lnb's yesterday evening and it worked perfectly. I said I swap um b4 I bought another one. So I'll order one on amazon, saw an octo one there for around £20 with good reviews, a quad is €30 in dwyres electrical ffs
