Brian Hudson: I presume you mean "can't get COM5 " since the change on 28th Sept. See my reply on the Mendip board.

All: Sky News did seem to disappear for a while from the MUX, I don't know the reasons, but it has been back now at Mendip for a while. The way Sky text is being presented has changed, and if you are not careful you miss the fact there there is still some news headlines available.

michael bladen: This strongly suggests that your as moved slightly out of alignment which has possibly been caused by high blustery winds, and should the alignment problem apply it most likely being in the horizontal plane, i.e: moving to left or right.

The other possibility is that the coax connection to the LNB on the dish is defective, so this would require checking.
