471 is well low for the auto scan. I get 960 channels on an auto scan. Looks like the box it's either not switching horizontal / vertical polarisation (voltage switch) or low / high frequency (frequency switch).

Try the receiver on someone else's dish to see if the lnb is at fault.
Zgemma H7S running OpenVIX 6.2, Darkmotor, Triax TD110 dish, Inverto Black Ultra dual lnb
LG 50UM7450 4K TV, Pioneer VSX-534 Atmos AVR , Panasonic UB820 region free 4K Bluray & a PS4.

I'll try it on a different dish and get back to you.
Thanks.
Well dammit, it looks like I've made a bit of a fool of myself. Switched to using my steerable dish and connected using tuner A followed by tuner B.
Both tuners auto scan 960 channels and again ABM works on both tuners, so it looks like I need to get my ladder and sat meter out, the box and software are fine - a result I am completely happy with.
I can only apologize to everyone who has tried to help, and thank you all too.
Cheers.
Nice one. With so many possible causes, it's not always obvious what the real problem is, so there's no harm in asking for help. Sounds like you got there in the end.
No need to apologise. You've not made a fool of yourself, quite the opposite actually.
Well done for not getting frustrated and following things through logically/systematically.
we have all been their its called a learning curve, and sometimes these little things are their to help us solve a problem, and sometimes the solution is so simple we wonder why we never thought of it before
glad you finally got it sorted
Result; replaced the sky LNB with a quality new one and 961 channels with the existing dish. When I feel like it I might replace the crappy sky dish one of these days.
Many thanks to all.
Unless you suffer during rain or want another sat, there is no need to change it.
I take it replacing the lnb fixed the problem then or did you have to realign the dish aswell? My father in laws had exactly the same problem had to disable tuner b for abm to complete. And he's using a sky lnb.
If one port is fine, dish is aligned properly.
Check F plugs on the cable giving issues. Connect it to different output on LNB.
Thanks for this thread guys, there is a lot of information that might assist with my tuner lock issue. Wonderful support on this forum as ever.
Just an update. This morning selected Tuner B as 'not connected' and scanned ABM. All information and Bouquets loaded fine. Will enable Tuner B tonight and see what happens.
