Hi guys,
I'm sure you are all aware of the problem that plagues Sky Digibox users on 19e/13e etc: the box sometimes loses channels stored in the "Other channels" section.
After much testing (I have too much free time ) I have discovered it may relate to the signal strength/quality.
Basically in several tests, the box is a lot more likely to lose the other channels if:
a) the signal quality/strength is low
If you add more than 30 channels (I would say 30 is the safe limit)
Try it for yourselves, my digibox actually refused to lose the channels when I had about 90% signal quality- no matter how hard I tried , but was more than willing to lose channels nearly every time it went into standby with only about 30% quality.
For this test I used a variety of channels on 19e.
