    12207 MHz, v. polarity, symbol rate 27500.

    It's been on those settings for a while now, so it's possible you have some other problem.

    Thanks guys but that's the one he had originally. Has every other station but any frequency for sky news is only at 40% and 10%

    It's strange because with every other station OK it's not like the dish moved.

    Ah well, thanks for the replies.

    Can't see me convincing a 70 year old man to buy a new box just because he can't get sky news

    Yeah, it's been on that transponder (TP) for a long time now.

    It's still possible the dish has moved, & this TP was just a bit weaker to begin with. Maybe just double check that other channels aren't missing, as there might be a pattern (same polarity, band.)

    I had a similar problem, Sky News worked no problem on receiver downstairs but nothing on the same make of receiver upstairs. A firmware update fixed the problem.

    Same frequency its always been but the FEC has changed from 2/3 to 5/6. Try deleting the transponder and readd it again
