    Hopefully you can help. I can receive almost all of the freesat channels except the following :

    127 - 4 seven - no or bad signal
    157 - davenport - no or bad signal
    158 - drama - no or bad signal
    159 - yesterday - no or bad signal
    160 - really - no or bad signal
    166 - home - no or bad signal
    167 - quest - no or bad signal
    168 - quest +1 - no or bad signal
    169 - quest red - no or bad signal
    170 - quest red +1 - no or bad signal

    I am using a humax foxsat hdr freesat box and am getting a good signal on all the other channels and my post code is en10 6dw .
    Thanks

    Your are missing 3 transponders all quite close in Frequency.

    11126 V 127

    12129 V 157-166

    12382 H 167-170

    Loss of transponders can often be down to water in the coax cables.

    Important disconnect the coax cable from the Foxsat and check for any sign of water. If it gets into your box it's likely to write it off.

    If the dish is accessible check for signs of water and corrosion.

    If you have water, the cables will need replacing, it's also possible the lnb is on it's way out. If dish is easily accessible then they are cheap as chips on e-bay and easy to replace.

    Many thanks for your reply. We've previously checked for water ingress and all was okay, thankfully. Guess it looks like an lnb problem, but that was replaced a short while ago.

    Thanks again for your help.

    The other common reason for close frequency loss is local interference. What electronic kit is within 1m such as DECT phones etic.

    As far as I can see, we have an X box, which is not turned on and that's it.
