Recently I have started to lose the Astra 2d stations ie: BBC 1 BBC 2 and all the Irish Channels (N0 satellite signal being recieved notice). The only way I get them back is by a reboot.This lasts for a couple of days and then it goes again This with an Irish card. When I put in my FTV card I get my BBC South West etc. I also dont have problem with my 2nd Sky box in another room with an Irish card, so its not an dish or LNB problem so it appears to be either the Sky+ box or the Irish card that i am using in it
Has anyone experienced this problem? and is there a remedy before i get on to the techis in the underground caves in West Lothian

There is a fault which can occur due to compapatbility issues between certain makes of digibox and brands of Lnb, but it is more common in ordinary Panasonic boxes,not Sky+,but it does cause loss of BBC and RTE channels.

There is a reply from Watty in this post, which tells how to identify if indeed this is the problem http://boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?postid=1456058#post1456058

I do not know if this will help but it is worth a go. You could also try the box on a friends dish for a few days to see if it is definitly a problem with the Sky+ box.

Yeah, I think it's something to do with an incompatibility between the Sky+ box DiSeqC 1.2 signalling and the LNB. Panasonic's (and seemingly) Pace Sky+ boxes are most affected, but I think some Grundig models are also slightly affected (but only very slightly).
