    Signal Strength

    I have had my Skybox F5 for over 2 years now last week I was watching the Euros on ITV HD and noticed every so often the picture would freeze and then catch up. This got worse to the point that last week during the England game it became unwatchable (and not just because the football was shocking).
    I decided to try putting a new connector on the cable but that didnt improve anything. I did several re-scans, tried a different channel list but nothing has fixed it.

    I had a spare Sky+ box which I put on the same connection and it was reporting really good signal strength, so I tried the Skybox on my main cable in the living room and no ITV HD. It does get BBC 1 and 2 HD but not a lot else.

    Has my box got to the end of its useful life

    Get the dish checked might of moved a fraction.....even tho the +box says a good signal
    the dish could of moved...the tuner is a lot better in the +box....than the openbox tunner

    This would be the 1st place I would start if the channel list is up to date

      Sorry, I have checked the dish and all appear to be spot on. I have kept the old HD box on since but will give it another try tomorrow.
