Thanks for your ideas. I have investigated a little and found what may or may not be the culprit. Got the ladder out and climbed up on the roof. There I found 4 wires going down to the lounge and on the flat bit of the roof I saw something interesting. (See photos) It turns out the cables were...

Hi. I have had my Sky+ box (Pace TDS470N) for just over a year and a problem has started to emerge. Every few minutes the sound will disappear for a second or two and often the picture will freeze/show blocking as well. Admittedly, sometimes up to half an hour can pass without us seeing the...

Hi. I am about to get Canal Digital from satellite in Sweden. Have been told it will probably be possible to take the card with me to the UK and get a signal. Just wonder if I will need to take the receiver with me back and forth. I know that SKY boxes are "paired" with their card, so is the...

I have the same problem with channel 4 and E4 but not as bad as UK Gold. btw. What is the "DS thread" and can you post a link please?

Freezes & glitches as you mention JTA is the most accurate way of describing what I experience. Digital pops and breaks in the sounds accompany. I don't know anything about the technicality about satellite reception but it surprises me that some channels are ok when others are.... let's call it...

I have EXACTLY the same problem as the one described. I am therefore not posting to offer a solution just telling that you are not alone. Up until reading your post I thought the digibox was faulty and I would have to buy a new one. I watch UK Gold quite a bit and get the same sound and picture...

Thanks Polo for your comments. Have rechecked all connections. Here's what happened: Ran the coaxial to the kitchen and set up the remote eye. Saw the signal came through - hurray. But the remote didn't work. Went upstairs and enabled the RF power supply. Into the kitchen and the remote worked...

Hi. I have a Panasinc DMR-E95H and an Amstrad DRX400 digibox. Things have worked well (sort of) until I bought an extra Sky remote with a "remote eye" so I could watch Sky in the kitchen as well. I connected things up and all went well. I can now watch Sky in the kitchen. So far so good. Now...

Thanks for all your thoughts. Problem sadly not solved yet.:confused: I tested the cordless phone thing suggested above but that didn't make a difference in my case. When I do a signal test from the "services" menu I get the following results: Signal strength: ~70% Signal quality: ~80-90%...

Thanks for replying. I have a Sky digital installation (not Sky+) and never touched the dish myself. Digibox is a Panasonic TU-DSB40. Don't know what to say about software, location and signal received? Any ideas?

As I didn't get any response to my last question I will rephrase :o: Once or twice every evening I get blocking and distorted sounds. Sometimes it goes away by itself, other times it will freeze the picture. I have found that quickly changing channel and then back again seems to "clear" the...

Please excuse the total n00b and helpless beginners question. (I did have a look around to see if this question had been answered before) I have had Sky digital for about 1½ years. Things have worked fine up until recently. During heavy rain the signal has always been intermittent which, I...
