Default rolling picture on fortec system

Hi
I purchased a satallite system from maplins some 6 months ago,Fortec Star Free Sat Kit-46cm dish.I use it on a 5 foot tripod outside my caravan,everything has been fine up to 3 days ago,when the picture started rolling up and down,i have retine it in astra 2 again but still the same i get a good signal ok,also when i go into the menu the picture is distorted.

The receiver is FS-4000v2,have checked the cable connections and also purchased a new lnb about a month ago.

Thanks

Reg

Sounds more like a tv fault than anything to do with the satellite, can you try a different source such as a dvd player to confirm?.
