Another Dish Direction Question...

    The weather is pretty miserable today, making my problem worse than it usually is, but I have a dish directed to pick up the usual FTA channels, but am getting poor signal (most of the time) or missing signal (today) on quite a number of channels. Based on Freesat numbers, they are 126,135,142,143,208,302,303,305,500,501,502,503,515,516,517,603,604,605,606,650,801,803,804,805 and 806, but still getting all the rest such as BBC HD with perfect quality

    Before I start messing around with dish direction, can anyone suggest (based on the commonality of the missing channels) if this is vertical alignment, horizontal alignment or the LNB skew?

    I did run a retune just to be sure everything was up to date, but no difference

    I'd particularly like to get 126 (Channel 4 HD) working properly..

    Thanks

    What are those channels that will not tune in, you could have a faulty lnb?
