I'm still on my original Sky HD box (a 5 year old Thomson) which i have had repaired only once when it needed a new PSU board. I got an upgraded capacitor one off eBay and a local SatCure guy fitted it for me, and he upgraded my old PSU board with Panasonic capacitiors so i would have a spare.
The box started playing up again about 2 weeks ago, missed recording, not recording at all, and no sat sign being recevied/this prog not avialable/ problem with Viewing Card messages randomly started appearing, and i wasn't able to get certain channels. I had my spare PSU fitted yesterday. After fitting, the SatCure guy tested it and he got all of the channels i could no longer get, so that looked to sort the problem.
When i got it back home and hooked it all up, i'm still not getting 2 of the channels (Anmal Planet HD and Watch HD) which worked
when guy tested it at his place. First i got This prog is not available, then i got No Sat signal being received on both those channels.
As they appeared to work when it was tested, could this be due to something else in my set up? Everything else seems to be fine. I've had the same Quad LNB since going HD 5 years ago, and i wondered if this was anything to do with this and maybe it's time that was replaced as well.
If anyone out there has any ideas, your input would be greatly appreciated...... or it is just time for a new box?
Cheers
