[QUOTE="geoffreys, post: 49820, member: 176167"] Well here in Cyprus I have no problem with our TU30 when the aircon is ON, but like many here we do not run the aircon 24/7. With the aircon OFF the ambient temp. in the lounge runs about 32 Deg.C+ in the summer with R/H up to 90 percent and the box sometimes demonstrates the locked-in-standby symptom. A box fan has cured the problem. Remember also to keep the inside of the box dust free, and NOT located (as our's was, plus VCRs) inside one of those cabinets with glass doors. A seperate problem took place between 2200 and 2330 GMT on 18th June, total loss of ALL channels. Others here also had this and it seems to be that a break in SKY's uplink took place - whether planned or a fault I don't know - but for several hours afterwards there was no 'active' facility. Since then signal strength has increased on the 2A North beam, but quality is down by 5 percent. We suspect some changes were made (by SKY) to enhance Euro2004 coverage to certain parts of southern Europe. All channels are still receivable here in Cyprus, but the point is that when 'on the fringes' even small changes to the location of the satellites or transponder erp is immediately detected, whereas in (for example) UK viewers would likely be unaware.
