    Skybox F3 keeps freezing every 30 seconds

    Hi all,

    I 'm having an issue with my recently purchased skybox f3 in that it keeps freezing/glitching on certain channels every 30 seconds which gets very annoying!

    I was wondering if any of you kind fellas could help me sort this issue out?

    I posted on another thread and one of the lads said i needed to realign my dish using a meter. If this is the case, Can someone please elaborate on the dish alignment procedure? What type of meter should I use and where can I get it from? What type of lnb do you best recommend and where from?

    P.S. My sky dish and single cable from dish to reciever are 7+ years old. My signal intensity on the skybox f3 is around 90% and my signal quality fluctates between 73%-75%.

    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Thanks in advance.

    If it just $ channels glitching then nowt you can do about it other than accept it, or google for a better CS provider.. Or, grumble at the person you bought it from...

    If its all channels glitching then it could well be dish, lnb or cable issue..

      Get a test 24hr cline from a verifed server sharer, and use his details when its really bad
      I only seem to be effected on Sky Sports HD and Star Plus HD channels especailly on weekends and glitching is everfy 30secs
      They all promise freeze free / glitch free but i dont think its true

        This sounds like a good idea, thankyou. My next question is how do I find a verified server sharer?

        I too am affected mainly on sky's ports. Can I comfortably assume that this is intact a subscription issue rather than a hardware issue?

                Hi. Since server talk is not allowed, are we allow to receive a PM about the servers? It's wild world out there on google.

                  Hi

                  Dont think its allowed by pm's either. I could be wrong but think the pm's are monitored or can be monitored

                  Regards

                      Hi

                      thats what I probably read sometime ago on a thread think someone had received an offer of a "gift" and a mod or someone made a comment of that kind that talk is not allowed by pm's either.

                      I probably got the monitoring of pm's confused with reporting such pm's.

                      Regards

                        take look in manage config file. see if your line is not KO or moving from online to offline give you freezing/glitching. Just saying to check if internet in disconnecting

                            If I recall correctly the mod made a comment that if anyone is offered gifts by PM they should be reported.

                              Should put it in the softening box more often.
