And yes, I'd try a complete power-off shutdown of the system first like Steve suggested. Sometimes strange things happen when the system is surreptitiously powered down :-o<BR>

OK did some more testing. If I 'Watch TV' on the Satellite input, if
shows 71% signal strength with SBS (Vertical?) and 53% with Freeview
channels (Horizontal I think). But S/N of 4.5 dB in all cases. BE was
originally zero, but after playing with LNB settings to try and wake
something up, I am now getting BE of 3k-40k reported (after restoring
the LNB settings). If I remove the cable from the LNB to the DVB card,
signal strength drops to 0% but S/N stays at 4.4dB.
So, anyone want to guess if its the card or the LNB that's broken? I'm
tempted to get a new DVB-S2 card cause that's easiest, but its $100 that
I don't want to spend if the problem is the LNB...
