Cannot tune on certain transponders

Hello. I have a VU+ Solo2 running VIX. Has been running for 6 months with no issues.

A couple of days ago I noticed that certain channels would not tune. Upon investigating it was certain transponders that were not returning any channels. I tried rescanning those transponders and nothing comes back. This morning it seems the problem has expanded to some more transponders. There are now at least 5 transponders that I cannot find any channels on. Below are the ones I have noticed so far as they include channels such as sky sports and the kids channels....

12110 H 27500 2/3
12148 H 27500 2/3
11914 H 27500 2/3
12207 V 27500 2/3
12265 H 27500 2/3

My thinking is that maybe somehow my dish has come out of allignment or my LNB has developed a fault? Does that sound right? Is there anything else I could check at the box end? I already tried downloading the latest version of VIX to make sure I wasnt missing anything.

Thanks
 
I would check your channel list, have you update bouquets or done a rescan? I know I had to do that recently for some channels which had moved and also last night for spike TV

I check my dish aliment once a year just to make sure all OK and make sure my F-Cons are OK and not damaged.
 
I only ever update my channel list manually if a channel moves. I never update automatically. The channels I am missing (Disney Junior for example) have not moved as I have checked. Disney Junior is on the aforementioned 11914. If I do a manual scan of 11914 I get nothing (there are approx 10 channels on this transponder). If I use the find sat option within VIX and scan the transponder 11914 I get a SNR and AGC of zero, and it does not lock on.
 
I seem to have the exact same problem. I've got a duo running vix. This morning sky sports 1,2,3,4, f1 were showing Tune Failed. This afternoon sky sports 4 is back but the rest are still not working. I did a ABM scan but now it keeps failing to lock. I asked a friend who has a TM NANO SE and he's having the same problems. Its definitely not your end, because then we all wouldn't have the same problem.

I just checked Disney Jnr and that seems to be working fine atm.
 
Same here but ive got all my channels back, they are scattered around and no bouquet list.:damn:
I also have the added bonus of time out tuner lock after the abm scan.

Agh OK big cheese, that sounds promising. I'll try it later and let you know. Thanks

UPDATE

Yes, an automatic scan did the trick so thank you. I've always only done a manual scan before for whatever channel I'm after (only have a few I'm interested in) so didn't consider trying that as I thought it would yield the same result. Obviously not! Thanks again everyone for your help.
