Hi Chaps,

I really appreciate some help, as this is really doing my head-in.

I have loaded Ajs latest channel table on a skybox F5 - all the channels seems to be working fine for a few hours
Later in the evening, some channels start displaying "program invalid - search again" and then across most channels. A reboot has resolved the problem, but only for a few minutes at times...

I have set the box back to factory settings, deleted and reloaded the channel table again.....but again, this message is displayed on various channels.

The signal quality is 80% and other is 70%

So, lm uncertain whether this is:

a) channel table
b) tuner
c) dish alignment


Any advice would be appreciated chaps, as this is just causing me problems now.....l have a ccline from a local provider and it works fine on my other box, so l know its defo not the server.

I just really would like to get this up and running without this message appearing

cheers
Charlie

Back up all of your settings and reinstall the software and add the channel list again. Think I used the Scooby Snax software on my mates boxes and it seems stable to me, Andy. Try here http://www.skybox.cc/down.asp?id=9

Sound like the box maybe getting to hot

thanks for your responses chaps

I just noticed another problem, that the audio is distorted across all changes via the scart
therefore, l think l will send the seller an email and request an exchange
