Freezing picture

[Steve Greenhough]

I'm having problems with my openbox freezing especially on the sky sports channels.
I haven't committed my self to getting rid of sky yet, so I'm still receiving sky in another room of my house and I'm connected to openbox in a separate room. Both boxes are connected to the same satellite dish.
I receive a fantastic hd picture from the openbox but as soon as I go on to sky sports 2 the picture freezes for about 5 to 10 seconds, then unfreezes.
My broadband is BT fibre and the box is Ethernet cabled (not wi fi)
Can anybody help please. Steve

Freezing as in green $ box displayed or blue 'no signal' displayed?

Un plug the original box.... (or just disconnect the sat feed) see if this sorts the open box

Some boxes have problems when the original s*y box is connected at the same time.

If this does not clear the fault.....then sounds like it could be the banned subject on DK

I have the same problem mind you mine always seems to do it when I am watching sky sports , whether that is because I watch a lot of sports I don't know . By the way I am going for a VU+ zero sat receiver I am told they are better boxes . Only time will tell apparently they upgrade via network with channel list mind you it isn't that hard to update your channel list I must say .

If its just sky sports 2 you are having trouble with just look at your sat cable connections, try changing the cable to another LNB output from the dish.

If its just all the sports channels than its more than likely something we can't talk about here.
