"Hello, I would suggest a diagnostic. It will most likely be the dish needing realignment."

"More information required. If this is a problem with a satellite dish LNB, it will need a diagnostic check and possible replacement"

"LNBs can degrade over time, particularly in locations exposed to extreme weather conditions. Signs of a faulty LNB include missing satellite television channels, video pixelation, signal drop-out during heavy rain or the complete loss of signal

No signal or a low signal strength/quality reading indicates that the LNB is not functioning correctly and you will need to replace the device. A medium- or high -strength/quality reading indicates that the LNB is working correctly and the fault lies somewhere else in your system."

"Missing channels are often presumed to be an LNB problem, however, in most cases it is usually a dish alignment fault/ damaged dish or low grade cable. Most new LNB's have no serviceable parts, so fitting a new one would be needed, you can replace them cheaply enough."

"LNB's are not serviceable items, if it has a fault a replacement would be required."
