The one thing that doesn't add up is, when I added the Astrotel Co-rotator several months ago, X4 popped right in. Signal quality was in the 60's if I remember correctly. Why did I suddenly lose all of my Ku? We haven't had any storms lately to blow my dish out of alignment.

Thanks for all of you help.
If you rdish has a ring on the back side putting the angle finder on it should give a reasonable guess as to what you have it set at. I would guess you were in a side lobe all along and now the sat has moved a bit (called drift) and the side lobe is either gone or you are to far out of it to get signal. If you are not getting X0 600 and 601 not G0 600 & 601 I would play with adjustment for peak signal on the DVB receiver Ku for that sat including skew. You should at that time have it on the 922. If not or the very best you can get is the numbers you posted earlier we go back to side lobe and not really even aligned on the true signal.

Is your dish a one piece solid, solid panel or mesh? It is very possible your dish is warped. Again though I still think it is in aligment. If you can do no better than posted numbers find the adjustment for the dish and crank on it moving the dish up (mark the thing first) just keep going to see if you find signal somewhere else in adjustment. If not try down.
