Where are you? When INT-1 was replaced with INT-14 many lost reception as the new bird does not cover there area. How long have you had this issue? where are you?

is your signals good on another satellite? If so it could be the replacement of the satelllite. I have seen positive and negative results when they change birds.

one thing to check if your signals are down across the arc of satellites is first check coax connections for corrosion or damaged wiring.

next take the receiver outside with a small tv. pull up your signal meter and and gently pull up or down on the dish and see if the signal goes up or down while pulling.
if it does check the mounting pipe with a bubble level for plumb. makes sure the wind or other forces of nature have not caused your pipe to lean.

make sure the lnb and feedhorn does not have insects nests or any other obstruction inside.

if all that checks out...its could be a bad lnb. lnbs go bad.

I basically lost that bird once the new sat went up, I'm in Montreal, I had I think one transponder coming in, many on satforums lost it as well, didn't see many talking about it here, I lost some of my SD fav's, I will try to do a blind scan tonight, see what I get.
