About 10 mins ago, I was watching CNN on Ch 506 (IIRC) and then everything froze - the RX (DRX 895)is now telling me that the the box isn't getting a sat signal, and one sat input is showing 90% SS& SQ and Input 1 LOCK indication is "OK, but other one is showing (corrected) 0% SS and 0% SQ, and NOT LOCKED.
So is anyone else in the London having the same issue, or is this a box problem (which I think it might be)?????
Edited: switched the box to Single Channel mode, it rebooted and now have reception on Input 1, and so it does look like a box problem and maybe I'll have to swop to the "LIDL 895" (hope it still works!) which is on the shelf upstairs (and probably have to swop the HDD's to get access to all the recordings (a job I really do not relish!).
Now reset it back into dual channel mode and it's working but, again, showing 0% SS & SQ on Input 2..
Looks' like it is the box - unless one of the inputs on the quad on the dish has failed? Will try changing to another of the 3 cables coming down from from quad (the 4th one got repurposed for the feed from the NVR in the attic)
