OTHER Most Galaxy 19 channels disappeared

[bidawwi]

Hi folks,
in the past couple of weeks, most of the channels on Galaxy 19 have disappeared. I have not changed the setting or moved the dish. I could not figured out why. I re-scanned and even reset to factory setting but nothing helped. I am using a Vision Clever II receiver and a 32" dish. Could the LNB be damaged (white plastic cover crumbled)? If yes, how come I am still getting a handful of channels.
Any input is greatly appreciated.

Thank you

how come I am still getting a handful of channels.

Some channels are on stronger transponders. The weaker will vanish first if the LNBF performance, or dish alignment, degrades.
If you think it's the "white plastic cover crumbled" try removing it. If no improvement _ carefully_ lightly push L/R & up/dn on the edge of the dish to see if there's any improvement in the QUALITY reading in the tune up screen. You may have to 'hold it' for 5-10 seconds before any changes 'register'.
If no improvement is noted, replacing the LNBF is the 'next logical step'.

Other than comment above, is it a fixed dish? Could it be that it has moved slightly our of place?

Could be degraded coax too. Moisture in the coax or connectors corroded just enough to start causing problems, but not go completely out.

Thanks every one for the prompt response. I will go through these suggestions and report back.
Thanks again.

by the way, the dish is fixed and very tightly secured.
Thanks

Thank you guys. It was the coax. Changed it and got back all the channels.
Thank you
