All DSTV BBC Channels keep breaking up

[chutzpah44]

Is anybody else having contistant break ups of their BBC channels on DSTV. I have heard something about sunspots but I am not sure if this is the reason. This is only the BBC channels as all the others have no problems

Your LNB needs to be re-alligned
The BBC channels are all on a horizontal polarity, along with maybe 10 or 15 other channels like 124, 231, 264.
Those others might work but will still have a low signal %

Low Noise Block, its that thing attached to your dish. It should be pointing to around 4 o'clock, it could've moved slightly over time

Signal strength can vary with weather conditions & other elements, but ultimately if you are having breakups or can't receive certain channels then the LNB's alignment if not 100%
Go to a vertical channel like 101 & check the signal on the decoder, and then do the same for a BBC channel
