Unhappy Re: B&Q Satellite - Ross freesat box and dish

Hi every one I wonder if some one can help me. I bought a Ross Free sat HD Kit a few weeks ago. It was tricky to start with to set up. We had the same problem as other people on this forum as in we could get strength of 99% but quality continually at 0 %. We eventually discovered that the Lnb was faulty. Once we got a new Lnb. It worked fine. Now I get quality of 60% and picture is very good even on HD channels. I can pick up all the BBC channels, ITV channels, Channels 4, Channel 5 etc. But my problem now is that channels such as Food network it picks up the channel and tells you what programme is on. But when you try and view the channel there is no picture just a black screen. Why is this. When you are on the food network channel and press info it shows there is a signal of 60%. Is there any thing I can do to get a picture on these channels. I love watching the food network channel. And this was one of the main reasons I went for free sat instead of free view. Also I can pick up the children's channels such as pop, tiny pop, pop girl and kix. But when try to view these channels I get a message saying no signal. Why is this. Are these channels not on the same satellite as the BBC, ITV Channel 4 channels etc. Is my dish perhaps not quite aligned properly or is it a problem with my receiver box. Or have I done some thing else wrong. Also one final thing has any one had any problems with connecting a usb drive to there Ross free sat receiver. As I have tried plugging in a usb 2gb memory stick and it came up with a error message and would not read it, I also tried connecting a 160gb external usb hard drive and it would not read this either. I wanted to be able to record some programmes. I am guessing my receiver box is faulty.
Any advice on all these things would be much appreciated, thanks in advance
