Either that or a dodgy LNB. Could just as easily be a cable issue or mis-alignment.

Perhaps see this page...

It's not just the Sky boxes made by Grundig. Just last month I had to replace all the capacitors in the power supply of my three year old Thompson box. At least three of the capacitors were visibly "blown". Companies like Satcure do kits and/or exchange power supplies if you can't solder.
