BBC TV problems

Since the storm I’ve been unable or only rarely get reception on any BBC channels except the 24 hour news via my satellite and humax box. I’ve done an automatic retune but it hasn’t helped. I have a 1.9 dish so it really shouldn’t be a problem. Have to sat since BBC changed to HD I do sometimes have to look on a regional channel to get BBC 1 but normally it’s ok
Any suggestions please

Looks like your dish has moved or something is lodged on the transponder unit

I know slightly o/t but since coming back from the UK my BBC1 keeps showing a notice about going over to HD soon. Anyone have a work around as all my BBC HD channels barely work.

Majority has already gone over to HD. Rest will completely close by March next year.
Been posted many times that a Humax or Sky box will automatically tune to the HD channels and you have to look for the remaining SD channels up in the 900s on Humax.

May also need a bigger dish. C4 has also gone HD.
BBC have issued a help sheet to tell you what to do.

BBC HD changeover
