[QUOTE="spiney, post: 154291, member: 192438"] problem Panasonic Sky box ..... There's several things this could be ...... (was it the same channels faulty on the other dish, when tested?). 1) Start by listing (a few of) the problem channels. Then, get the exact transponder details for them from an internet site (eg, [URL="http://www.lyngsat.com"]www.lyngsat.com[/URL] , see Sky package, details you want are in the boxes on far left side). It might be the signal. Go into installer menu (on remote, select services, then 4,0,1,select. Goto "manual tune". Then, enter details for one of the problem channels. Do you get "lock"? Is "signal quality" reasonable (roughly halfway or better?). Repeat for other problem channels. (if it's a signal reception problem, could be several things ....). 2) if "quality" was ok, then it's quite likely to be a digibox fault (worsening power supply). Confirm by first entering the channel details into "add channels", save, depower digibox, then repower and go straight into "other channels" and select that one quickly (don't first wait for channels to load and epg to appear!). if the box is "failing", there are power supply repair kits, but needs a soldering iron, and probably easier and cheaper just to get another box. 3) If it's not just some channels, but the box just "freezing", then it may be a current software bug, see thread just below: [URL="http://www.satellites.co.uk/php-bin/forum/showthread.php?t=10949"]www.satellites.co.uk/php-bin/forum/showthread.php?t=10949[/URL] .
