    Dropping channels on Grundig digibox

    Hiya, I'm having exactly the same problem! It started about a week ago with one or the other channel: eg Comedy Central gone but Comedy central+1 there, Hallmark gone, Hallmark+1 there. Now SKY1 is gone but SKY2 and 3 ar there. I've lost all but 2 of all the SKY movie channels. Blue screen...

    Another choppy channel - help! Pleeease??

    Well! Forgive my blondness! I thought that this could've been a generic problem that affected the channel itself. If, like you suggest, this is a result of disk size and cable length, then even with my limited IQ, it would indicate that this happens to many more channels than the 2 that I have...

    Another choppy channel - help! Pleeease??

    Hi All, Me again. This time it's ITV2 that's causing me viewing trouble (oh yeah, and ABC1 is still choppy most of the time (earlier post) - no one has come up with any suggestions to fix the problem). Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this? Would really like to watch American...

    Choppy ABC1

    Yep. It's me again! Another day, another question... Does anyone know why ABC1 is so choppy (it often freezes for several minutes) and how I can tune into it so that I can watch an entire episode of a Sitcom without having to guess what happened next? I know that it could be caused by weather...

    Hi Llew, Thanks. Yes, it has been quite a while... Things have sure changed here! But it's still as reliable a place as before! Thanks for the info. I will give it a try the next time I encounter this situation. Kindest regards and best wishes to all for the New Year! Luxkatz

    Pincode for free to air movies on TCM (and other movie channels)???!!!???

    Hello, Sorry if this is in the wrong place - it's too early in the day to figure out where it should really go (read: I'm too lazy to figure it out - lol). ANYway, has anyone experienced this: Last night I wanted to watch Lethal Weapon 2 on TCM which started at 9:00 and when I changed to that...

    new SKY card/non-stop window box on screen

    Hi, Since Friday last week, I have had a (virtually) non-stop window box on my TV screen (on all channels) to insert new viewing card. The only problem is, I haven't received the new viewing card yet at my UK address! Before calling SKY (I don't permanently live in the UK), I was wondering...

    Achy-breaky Disney

    Bummer. Having paid the full price for the box only six months ago...! Anyway, I don't really know whether or not it is the same problem as on the thread, but I think I may just accept it - as long, that is, it doesn't affect any of the other channels... Well, thanks so much for your imput...

    Achy-breaky Disney

    Hi Rolf, Thanks for your reply. I have to admit that I am a bit lost with the info supplied though. I do get all the channels fine (SKY entertainment package)- even ITV2. This is only an occaisional problem and happens totally at random. Sometimes it's in the afteroon, sometimes only after 11...

    Thanks for replying. The LNB is brand new - well, only six months old. Also, if it were the LNB wouldn't other channels be affected as well? Oops! I forgot to mention that the box is a Grundig. Also, I'm not in the UK, so I can't call the "local" technicians... any other tips? Thanks! Christine

    Achy-breaky Disney

    Hi All, Ever now and then, irrespective of how long the Digibox has been on, Disney and Disney+1 go choppy and break-up, making viewing impossible! Can anyone explain why this happens and what I can do to stop it? This only affects these channels and is driving me crazy! Thanks in advance...
