Fault with my $lybox f5

[Dollydoodah]

Hi,

Had my F5 box for over a year now and had no issues...
Last weekend though I started to notice a problem with the H channels...
The signal intensity wanders from 75%+ and down to 5%, the green light on the front of the box flashes on and off in time with the signal dips and apart from the odd pixelated snapshot I'm getting no signal messages...

The V channels are working (I've had a no signal fix fitted for some time).

Any idea's on a quick fix or is the box goosed?!?!?

If it is can anyone suggest a replacement box model? That has the same simple functionality but is a bit more reliable?

Take a back up of files from box.
Reset to factory.
Load latest firmware.
Ensure only 28.2east ticked in sat list.
Do single sat scan of channels [blind scan]
Check fta channels ok.
Reload line.
Reboot box and should be ok.

note-----always format key before using and check all connections before doing above.
