What I neglected to mention is that I have a smart TV in another room fed off the same quad head from the same satellite and there are no issues with freesat receiving on that TV.
Bearing this in mind it seems there may be a problem with the Foxsat box rather than the satellite feed to it. Would you agree?
Doubtful - move the Foxsat to the TV . Connect it to a spare HDMI in. Connect the single cable to tuner 1 in. Ideally connect the middle tuner 1 out to tuner 2 in. Do a factory reset. If you manage to do a freesat tune the issue is the cabling. remove the short link cable. Connect the middle output to the TV. Repeat the reset. Turn on the box. Turn on the TV. Confirm the Freesat tuner still works.
Perhaps water in the cabling or poorly waterproofed lnb causing corrosion. . Look for an abraded outer cover due to poorly secured cabling moving in the wind
Problem with the coax cabling. Possibly water ingress. Outer cable sheath letting in water.
My Foxsat-HDR sits under a Panasonic TV with twin Freesat tuners. It is set up with two cables, the middle output conects to the TV tuner 1 in. The box is set to low power sby. When in sby the TV has all the channels. When on or recording in sby, the TV channel availability depends on the transponder tuner 1 in the Foxsat is using.
