Since you can tune to other frequencies, i doubt that it is a problem with the tuner. However, i would like to have some more info from you as to understand what could be causing this. For example, satellite, frequencies etc .. I had a faint thought about what could be causing this, Andrew also has a similar thought,(but these are just guesses) but to check it out whether that itself is the case might require a bit of time. Anyway require some info from you on your transponders/satellite etc. Regards, Manu
