Lost channels

[jjnemoiii]

Seems odd. About a month ago, I lost the hd side of some of my channels. Sd still comes in just fine, and I only lost some hd channels. A few of the still good signal inHD are 229, 238, 239, 240, 246, 249, 256. Some of the hd channels lost are 231, 232, 236, 237, 241, 242, 244, 245, all locals. Any ideas or thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

What are your Sat Numbers --Dish align out or a Bad RG6 Down lead -check your cable ends exposed outside

I was thinking a bad cable or LNB ...

Thank you! I forgot about LNB, I will check that and cables today after work. My dish is probably 8+ years old now. Any idea what I'm looking for in LNB?

Any cracks, may be small ... allowing water to get into it.
Coax connections at the LNB as well.

Sorry I didn't get back sooner, I'm guessing this as something to do with my problem.

That would definitely cause an issue !

That LNB is non-SWM so I'm guessing unless you have a SWM8, SWM16, or SWM32, that your receivers are HR24 and below?
