Hi, Just had the dish replaced & now these news channels 205. 206. . 208. . 209 . 210. . Are showing “. No signal “. . Had the installer back & he cannot find a fault . Any suggestions? What do these channels have in common that are different to other channels ? Thanks in advance .

Welcome to our forum.
I can't see why 205 should be an issue because according to Kingofsat (might be a mistake, it's on a high field strength UK spot beam transponder.
The others are on wide beam Pan Europe transponders so are much weaker than the UK spot beam transponders.
205 FRANCE 24(ENG) 11426 V UK ?????
206 RT HD 11225 V EUROPE
207 CNN 11670 H EUROPE
208 Bloomberg TV 11685 V EUROPE
209 NHKWORLD-JAPAN 11225 V EUROPE
210 CNBC 11479 V EUROPESuggests the dish alignment needs looking at. On my box all the Europe beam transponders show around 60% signal strength but more significantly 100% quality.
All the UK spot beams have 100% quality and signal.
What does the box say the strength and quality is when viewing the BBC ITV and Channel 5 HD channels.

Thanks for the quick reply . Signal strength was 80% & 100 quality .
My 1st though was the dish needs tweeking , but the Fitter says the dish is alignment is correct . I have a second Humax box set up in another room & have exactly the same problems there , so it's not the box .| Fri 5 Apr 2019 14:51:21 #3 | -

I can get 100/100 using a tiny portable camping dish in the Midlands

If the dish and units are OK, then that leaves the cabling or RF interference.
Check the problem channels here.
If they are close together then it is either water ingression or RF interference, the former is my bet as two units have the same problem.It would have been good to have the fitter check the signal at both ends of the cable.
