    I have a VU+ Solo2 (with OpenVIX) box with a 1.2 mtr motorised dish. When do manual searches (Network Search=Yes) for channels on 28.2E, many free channels (SD) like Travel Channel, Sky news, B4U Music, etc are not getting listed.

    What could be the problem?

    The 3 channels you mention are all vertically polarised. Check if other Vertical channels are working. If not it's possibly an LNB failure.

    Some Vertical channels like True Movies 1, True Movies 1 are working. But Some Horizontal channels like MoviesforMen1 and MoviesForMen2 etc are not working either. Any solution? Change the LNB?

    If you can borrow a known working box, use it to check first. If it also fails then replace the LNB

    Signal overload? Was it working alright before?

    Of course it may just be the opposite, with the dish probably having become misaligned: how do other satellite positions fare?

    I had this problem before with other channels.

    To solve it I just tuned them in manually.

    This wiki page is usually spot on.
