    Channel breaking up

    3 channels that were working fine on my box are now breaking up. The DUO is still fine and I have swapped the cable and the same 3 still break up.

    Changed sat.XML just in case but no joy.

    Any one have any ideas?

    how is the weather where you are ?
    might sound like a ridiculous question but strong gale force winds and rain storms can have a drastic effect on signal strength.

    weather is rainy but it was OK in worse weather in the past. The feed to the duo which is coming of the same dish is ok.

    Did you have high winds?! Did the dish move at all?! Could be the duos tuner is slightly more sensitive?!

    No dish movement as far as I can see, none of the other channels are like this. I might reimage it, .

    Any recommends for a good image haver DS2 and its very nice apart from the lack of EPG.

    I am not 110% certain its orginal and not want to risk it with Gemini.

    Update - I leaned out of the window and retested the dish and it was rock solid but this time I tried the LNB and that was loose it had skewed moved it back and all OK, it was too bloody cold to go up and try to tighten it
