First check that the satellite has beams on both polarisations at your location.

If one polarisation does not work. �

Have you tried rotating the LNB by 90 deg by hand ?.

Does your LNB have remotely switchable polarisation ? �How does it work ? �Does it need switchable +13 or +18 volts from the receiver or separate cable and power supply ?

It would be useful to know exactly where you are, LNB type and modem number, what satellite you are aiming for, beam coverage maps and a listing of the TV channels available - see www.lyngsat.com

Best regards, Eric.
