    This message is normally displayed when a channel cannot be received. It can be down to several reasons.
    This can be on several channels especially if your LNB is failing. However this is not likely to cause only HD channels to fail, Can you test more channels please.

    Cannot be random (Though might appear so) Because of the way a lnb works the transponder carrying a number of channels has 4 basic parameters ( the satellite box switches the lnb into the appropriate mode to receive the specific channel)

    1 Low frequency band and horizontal polarisation (LBH)
    2 Low frequency band and vertical polarisation (LBV)
    3 High frequency band and horizontal polarisation (HBH)
    4 High frequency band and vertical polarisation (HBV)

    Identifying which channels you may be missing helps a lot to find what may be missing. Your dish may have moved for instance due to bad weather.

    In addition

    Each transponder has a specific frequency, faults with the lnb, some local interference source or water getting into the coax can knock out a specific range of frequencies. To test this you need to check one channel from each transponder to see if a particular frequency area is affected.

    To test this you need to check one channel on every transponder.

    Initially to make it as simple as possible check reception on the following channels which should help to reduce the number of channels to look at.

    Low Band Horizontal - Lowest Frequency

    104 Channel 4

    Low Band Horizontal - Mid Frequency

    505 Vintage TV

    Low Band Vertical - Lowest Frequency

    124 More4

    Low Band Vertical - Mid Frequency

    142 True Ent

    Low Band Vertical - High Frequency

    511 VIVA

    Very few High Band Channels

    High Band Horizontal

    508 Kiss

    High Band Vertical

    159 Yesterday

    If you post which of the above you can get, we will have a much better idea as to what the issue is.

    Depending what you post we may suggest additional tests.
