    skybox f5 0% scrambled issue

    I have had my skybox f5 for a couple of months now, it had a few issues of restarting itself every 10mins so I installed an old firmware which fixed the problem. I did try installing the latest firmware but the problem continued. If there is a fix for this please let me know. The problem now started a week or 2 ago randomly where the channels start scrambling alot. Now the problem is so bad the tv channel $ and fta work for a little while (5-10mins) then suddenly stop working. When I click info it says 0% signal. The SNR is around 75%. In the antenna setup its universal (9750-10750) lnb frequency and the signal intensity and quality is around 85%. I don't know what has caused the problem but it stays 0% for hours even the FTA channels don't work.

    First thing I would do is try another receiver on the sat feed to eliminate your receiver.

      Don't know if this is the cause of your problem, but the correct setting is Universal (9750-10600).

            does it just restart on its own or do you get a 'PLEASE WAIT' displayed on the screen just before shutting down.
            If it just restarts it could be a power supply issue.
