Power supply is 230V going into the box direct from the plug. Is that what you mean? So I presume it's internal power supply, right?

It was the power output to the LNB I was looking for, 700mA. That's more than enough for the dSCR LNB, no requirement for a power inserter there.

Can you swap over the input cable to LNB input 1 to see if it makes any difference?

If not you may be looking at a cable or dish alignment issue.

They put the inserter on the second tv point in the bedroom which also would be feeding back to the dish. It seems it’s common enough in a communal dish setup.

With a communal setup each TV point could be fed via a dSCR multiswitch also which will have its own power supply. The setup will depend on the number of connections to be made I guess.
