Can anyone help, ive lost some channels signals but others are ok

Hi, i've been having a few problems of late concerning a few channels on 13e. The main one is canal+sport 2. canal+ sport works but not 2. I'll have signal at 70% snr and 100% quality according to signal finder but then it pixelises and drops out. Ive got a duo with disceq and have done all the usual things such as changing all the wires, even went and bought an ultra black lnb (which id wanted for a while anyway lol) and whilst its improved the quality its still dropping out. Other channels on the canal+ are working perfectly. There are other channels dropping out as well. I thought it may be down to the weather but this has been ongoing for 3 weeks now. Can anyone help please?

Diseqc switch OK?

Thanks for the reply. Yes, switch seems fine, it locks onto all the other satellites ok and even on 13e i can get most channels easily. I thought it was the HDD then the wire then finally the lnb. Changed them all, the lnb has gone from a darkgold to a black ultra which has improved my signal. im getting over 70% on all of them with signal quality being 100%, up 30% on the darkgold but still getting the same thing. It sort of pixelises at the bottom of the screen then loses signal altogether then comes back on a little while later. Only certain channels though. The only thing i havent changed is the actual dish but id have thought if that was gone that i'd get no channels?

Quick update, ive changed all the cables again, bought a supreme intelligent dark motor, new lnb which was a darkgold that came with it and the ultra black i already had just bought and for some reason i still cant get a good signal on some channels. Obviously had to redo putting the satellite dish and motor up, positive its straight. Good signal on every satellite from 30w to 28e that i could always get. Currently checking and just as an example canal sport 1 71% snr, 100% agc, canal+ sport 2 pixelates and says tuner failed then comes back in every few seconds at 69% snr and 100% agc but keeps losing lock.

The above is an example but loads of other channels do this, just check and novella tv which is on 11662 v 26500 3/4 does the same, cana.l sport 2 is 11448 h 26500 3/4. Others on 7/8 and higher or lower in frequency do the same. Does anyone have any idea what else it could be? Im using a vu+ duo original so its fairly old but i find it odd that theres only a few signal problems. Any help is much appreciated as ive spent quite a bit to sort this out with nothing to show for it
