For the past few weeks I keep getting distortion on tv any channel not changed anything. I watch my recordings and they have them. I recorded some movie from February and it is fine. Have done and looked at settings as per help suggestion. I am in South ayrshire

What sort of distortion? Breaking up into squares?

Dish alignment must likely culprit.

@daretobe12

None the less (and in the absence of an alien mothership somewhere over the west coast of Scotland) such issues are almost always related to individual dish alignment, or sometimes the cabling and/or LNB on that dish.

I'm afraid such a visual check will not determine if the alignment is spot on...

@daretobe12 It could be down to your dish being obstructe by new tree growth are there any trees/vegetation that could be in the dishes line of sight that has may grown so it may be partially obstructing the line of sight to the satelitte
