Keep losing my default transponder settings

landsker

I have a PACE 2600C connected via a community system.
Intermittently I lose the program synopsis when viewing the channel selection page. If this happens I will, concurrently, not show signal strength, signal quality, lock etc in the signal test page of the services. All channels continue to be received perfectly, despite there being no indications in the signal test.
If I select a program currently showing, the program synopsis will appear on demand.
Our installers have said that this is a problem starting with the tuner on the box. Is this likely?
I am using the default transponder settings.
As I type this, the signal test is satisfactorily showing and program synopses are available, but this can change at any time!
(If the signal strength/quality is not showing, the EPG will sometimes not show listings for later that day or the next day, but will be "searching for listings")

Thinking "out of the box" I wondered if any sort of learning remote control exisits with a timed macro funtion that could be setup to reset the default TP at regular intervals using infra-red.

(I believe there used to be some kit for distribution systems that could be programmed to regularly send three digits to a digibox (via RF2) to re-set it to a specific channel. Things got screwed up when SKY introduced 4 digit radio station codes as the system didn't support them!)
