    DM500 channels diminishing

    500c has been perfect but of late channels are decreasing (blank screen with service not available) and scanning doesn't help.

    I am in east london (virg*n)

      Just checked signal strength of missing channels and the signal is erratic. What should I do?

        The good ones are stable at SNR 95% and AGC 38% BER 0 but the lost service ones eg Good Food +1 are hovering between AGC 59%-70% BER 60%-64% BER 16545 and this is on 3 boxes on different streets/addresses.

        Any theories???

        Thank you in advance

            Did you solve this as I am in Kettering and noticed there was a channel missing so done a Bruteforce for UK scan and now other channels like Sky Sports 1 & 3 are missing but getting sport2 & extra!!
            have rescanned 3 times now but still the same.

              3 different boxes 2 different addresses (next road to mine).
              It is only a minor issue really (bravo 2, good food +1, home +1, living2 +1, watch +1) because 99% of the channels are perfect.

              Sky Sports 1 & 3 are fine for me.
