Is your receiver DVB-S2 capable?  Maybe it just needs a full retune?

I have 3 of the "older" Humax Foxsat boxes - all showing the same symptoms

Looks like I probably need to upgrade :-\

America is still there too.

They seem to be permanently "scrambled or not available" but all the
content is listed as normal in the EPG

(Mrs Trolley is missing her daily dose of Judge Judy)

Also there are plenty of FreeView channels with exactly the same
problem, EPG listings but no prog if chosen, usually a shunt off message
of some sort, annoying! C+

Presumably no "HD" in the model name?

If you can receive those two, then your box is capable of DVB-T2, but I
notice a mixture of MPEG1/2 channels and MPEG4/AVC channels, so probably
the latter is causing lack of judge judy? Sorry ICBA to work out which
stream IDs from the transponder correspond to which channel names!

https://www.lyngsat.com/Astra-2E-2F-2G.html might help. No idea which
Freesat numbers correspond to which channels/multiplexes, though.

My sat tuner is tied-up with C4/F1 at the moment, but from

<https://www.lyngsat.com/muxes/Astra-2F_UK_11344-V.html>

it looks as though all the channels he can get are MPEG2, and all the
ones his wife wants are MPEG4 ... time for a newer box ...

I can't get Legend (138 & 139) on FS on a Humax HDR box. There's
intermittent sound but no picture.
