Okay, folks; I assume one of you good people on the Humax end of things reset something or pressed a button
There is nobody here (as far as I know) from the "Humax end of things" so that isn't the explanation.

That's genuinely bizarre then! So, it may be nothing more than coincidence but, after 8 weeks of consistently not being able to receive a significant number of TV channels and radio stations in a range of different weather conditions, the box 'repairs' itself on the same day I post this thread on this Forum. That appears to be what's happened!

I have similar problems before and after renewing the dish because of rust. Its aligned using a point programme based on my location and the use of a signal strength meter. BBC channels seem to fall in and out and the rest remain robust I came out of freesat and tuned manually, and all the channels registered, worked on reengaging freesat and then dropped out again. • Make sure that the antenna setting in the menu is correct it says in the instruction book. Er where is the "Menu" and what antenna setting. Those words do not appear anywhere else in the instruction book which has no proper command/menu tree. Im sure I can fix it, but the lack of technical information in the manual is very frustrating.

My low tech method is just to move the dish until I pickup a BBC (or what ever channel you prefer) and then go to the Freesat signal condition (strength/quality) menu and do some fine tuning using other channels too. I prefer to use my Freesat TV for that as it's got a better menu than the Humax and it allows me to change channel within the menu.
Remember to add the appropriate LNB skew too.| Fri 17 Jun 2016 8:46:42 #25 | -
OK I've done all the antenna tweaking that you describe, but where in the menu tree do I find any tuning facility? I only have a Human box in one room and a Samsung in the other room (The one which was discontinued because they couldn't fix the HDMI missing sound bug)

I only have a Human box in one room and a Samsung in the other room (The one which was discontinued because they couldn't fix the HDMI missing sound bug)Tune to a channel, settings - system information - signal info .
Strength and quality for the tuned channel shown for both tuners. Full blue bar shows 100%. All my UK spot transponders show 100/100.
If you make any dish adjustments wait 30 sec or so for the tuners to respond to the alignment adjustment.
After adjusting the dish and locking of get someone to apply slight pressure to left and right side of the dish. If the quality falls for both you have correct azimuth. If it improves one way then you have to very slightly nudge the dish that way.
Repeat top and bottom to check elevation.
Repeat until you get it spot on.

Sorry thought the signal info page was quite easy to find.
Good fine tuning advice from Graham, I'm not in the UK and with a small dish and universal LNB (non-sky dish) and get 100% & 100% on all the main channels. Had a massive downpour the other day and strength went down to 80-90% which I thought was pretty good.
When adjusting the dish only move it by a minuscule amount and be careful when you're finished to tighten each nut half a turn at a time or you might move the dish.| Fri 17 Jun 2016 10:31:03 #28 | -
