I can only comment on personal experience...Out here in Northern Cyprus we use sat dishes over 4m to pick up default transponder (11778V) & 2D Horizontal signals..These "freezing" Panasonics have been working OK on dishes over 4m but keep locking up on smaller type dishes where we have to replace default transponder to 12207V from 11778V...Forced software upgrades havent helped either..

if the software update did cure it, that's great! From symptoms, it did sound like power supply, so I was pessimistic!

note, with signal, the important reading is quality, not strength!

However, with digital tv, either you get nothing or it's perfect. If you've got a picture at all, then that's fine, it won't look any worse if the strength sometimes goes down (eg, during rain).

Note, the received signal has nothing at all to do with your described digibox fault!
