    Just because one of the $ly ladder monkeys installed it does not mean its perfect by any means if only i had a pound everytime i heard that when i got called to a job scenario, anyway there is a good chance your dish may be fine but a fault with the box out of all the F3's that i have seen they have always displayed either 71-75% in quality as i believe the drivers for the tuners for these receivers is crap and they dont work correctly thus displaying inaccurate information.

    And finally is this so called Freezing happening on the FTA channels such as BBC,ITV,CH4 etc or is it just on the '$' channels if it is i know whats coming next

          More than likely the cause of the freezing but i will bet ?20 digicon right about the next Q ........

          Quote "but the bloke said everything is working at his end" must be your BOX or SETTINGS

            It is not always the server sometimes the router or ISP service is to blame as well.

                check your ping on your bb network and if its fine then its down to a crappy overloaded service provider,regards mdt

                        I have had nothing but problems with the firmware that you have on your box
                        i loaded a earlier firmware Skybox F3/M3 Software-Youtube&You~~~~(121119)_Shenzhen Yojia Technology Co., Ltd.

                        everything was great after i loaded this F/ware

                        Just a word of warning back your box up via USB (image file) so you don't lose anything
