    Skipping

    Had problems with all the channels skiping apart from the BBc1,2 itv, ch4. Hve rescaned as usual but no better, software version is up to date? when i pull the ethernet cable it will continue playing for about 10 seconds but still skipping as if its buffered, starting to think the box is faulty as i havn't seen any posts of any one else having the same problem.
    Any ideas?
    Ps: Tesside area.

            My box is still badly glitching on all channels apart from 1,2,3,4,5 so i must have an issue with the box, software is up to date, done a million scans including factory reset, changed ethernet cable, router is fine 10mb download speed, 1mb upload constant, every one seems to be running ok at the moment so im begining to think its the box at fault unless anybody has any ideas?????

              what is your signal and quality like and have you tried rebooting as in box off at rear,modem and router off for 3o secs then on,are you downloading torrents or other stuff which also can cause glitching.
