[QUOTE="dxsat, post: 532487, member: 193607"] Jonno, you need to go into the installer menu and choose 'planner rebuild'. As a Sky+ box is just a computer with a tuner and hard drive, the master directory can become corrupted, and a rebuild is necessary from time to time. This seems to happen more often with receivers used outside of the UK, probably owing to periodic loss of signal. The comment from your installer was right, LNBs do get fried in hot countries and failure or severe degradation after two years is common. If the LNB is in full sun all year round it is likely to go quicker. UV impact on the plastics can also be a problem. This is yet another reason to use Invacom, as the high temperatures affect cheaper LNBs more. [/QUOTE]
