hi recently got sky tv back on the engineer put up a new dish and a 8 port lnb both boxes were working fine until the new dish went up it seems to me that the signal must be to strong as when the boxes get to 100 then reboot there is like a small electro surge. i have a sky+hd box open box x3 skybox f3s any info would be great as im at my wits end over this.thanks

your using an official receiver on the same LNB so you will need something like this:

Do they reboot if you unplug the LNB feed to each box?
