[QUOTE="Lazarus, post: 797508, member: 323322"] Sky Boxes (It isn't a Freesat Box - Freesat is a different Platform with its own Branded Boxes: FreesatfromSky is an unfortunate area of confusion!) tend to have unreliable "Metering" anyway - a neighbour has one that shows zero also, but there's nothing wrong with it. Anyway, know we know a little more, try your box on a fellow resident's feed and see if the symptoms are the same. If they are, you are most likely suffering from failing power supply smoothing capacitors. This is a very common problem indeed and is consistent with the symptoms you have described. [/QUOTE]
