    Skybox F3 pixelating issues

    Evening all.

    I'm quite new to all of this but purchased a Skybox F3 fully configured by the person I bought it from. It's been fine for a few weeks but some channels have started pixelating, some worse than others. Can anyone advise how I can ease this?? I have rebooted the box, rebooted the router, the signal strength is in the high 80's and the SNR is 75. Starting to do my head in now!

    Thanks

    if it's fine on the free channels but dodgy on not free ones then it may well be the server.
    If it isn't broke, don't try fixin it..!!!

      These boxes sold by people "fully configured" and/or "12 months gift included" are usually using one of the cheapest and most over subscribed servers out there, so if as mentioned above its only the pay channels messing about then its the server, unfortunately...

        i had the same problem with my s11,what solved my issue was lnb frequency,try this press menu,installation,antenna set up,lnb freq,if frequency is showing universal {9750-10600} thats ok,if not 9750-10600 change it to stated frequency,this solved my pix prob,may solve yours,another cause of pixalation is slightly bad dish allignment,trees slightly blocking some of the signal from sat,dish loose and moving slightly.
