I managed to pick them up after rebooting, though 2 and 3 were nameless compared to the other three feeds
Its probably the Octagon i carnt check on anything else at the moment.
It's gone for me again. rebooted again this time and can't pick it up anymore. All of the other channels on 19.2e working
Edit: And it's back. Had to swing the dish to 0.8w and bring it back to 19.2e again
Edit 2: Anndddd it's gone again. Will test it on the Viark and see what is going on

How was Viark?
Same.
Was fine when I sent it from 0.8w to 19.2e, but if I did 23.5e to 19.2e it was not working.
Going to remake the LNB cable before I try messing about with the dish angle etc

Were the other tp same strength as before, just not the nfl, one?
Yep pretty much.
my arc is pretty good and stable. All other channels on 19.2E seem to be working absolutely fine.
If you were to give me a random tp to check, i'm sure i'd get a lock onto it

Is it going through a switch at all?
Yep. Got a goobay master/slave switch at the dish so i can share the motor with the Viark and Vu 4K

Try it without
Thanks for the suggestion.
Bypassed the switch for now and still can't pick the feed up.
Literally everything else is working. Tried ESPN HD on 23.5e and got a signal.
Sky Sport F1 on 19.2E is working and everything else too

Whats signal strength?
Try the viark def picks up 16 apsk ok
which channel are you asking about?
The viark had the same issue as the Vu.
Picked the channel up and then lost the feed, especially if I went further east to 23.5e and then back to 19.2e
Sounds like your dish may be slightly out of alignment? Astra 19.2 is a strong sat so it may not be as noticeable on other TPs.
Have you also checked that your LNB skew is exactly at 0 degrees (assuming you're using a motorised dish)?
From previous experience when I had my dish fixed, the Astra 1 Service 1-5 channels were quite sensitive to skew.
On an 80cm motorised dish (in SE England) I'm getting 81% signal with a SF8008 box on 11817v.
As a comparison, Sky Sport Premier League DE is 92% signal.

That's my next plan.
Recalibrate it on 0.8w using Al Jazeera and Vision Norge channels. Been told the latter is better to focus on as its more sensitive.
If this is an Alignment issue it might be better to take it back to your Dish install thread the spoil a feed discussion thread.
