    Thinking about this a quattro would make sense. If by sheer chance one of the pair cables on tuner 1 in is on the low band horizontal lnb connection. And the other is on the say the high band vertical or another. Checking the orihinal pdf list for, what hat bands can be received should sort it out.

    It was just a throwaway comment by me really, as I don't know anything (much) about Hybrids or quattro, gut it just occurred to me that quattro could be mistaken for quad.

    You would have to bodge one on to a sky dish the collar size is different and the feed horn doesn't match the dish shape. Basically designed for a dish that looks round from the lnb location.

    Sorry for not getting back to everyone. Thank you all for your answers. After much head scratching it transpired that my QUAD LNB had been mispackaged and was actually a QUATTRO LNB! All my re-aligning etc. was all in vain Bought a real QUAD LNB and all the channels came back immediately. As luck would have it, a week after getting it back up and working my HB-1000S died. I sent it off for repair but was told that it's dead. Been looking for a replacement only to discover that Humax no longer make FreeSat boxes and the FreeSat branded ones have become monstrously expensive! What's that all about? Even the basic model costs triple the price of my HB-1000S and it doesn't even accept an external hard drive! Oh well....
