    I think its most likely dish alignment as a result of last nights storm.

    In light of that it may well be the tuner or LNB , are the levels up on both inputs?

    sounds like a repeat of your ITV not going free prediction. In reality its impossible to say exactly what the fault is without testing on site, all we can do here is give general pointers as to what may be wrong.

    OK guys, 1-0 to Tony about ITV FTA and we'll leave it at that. I don't want to see anymore mention of this in another thread, or it lead to a weeks ban. To either of ye next time. It's not fair to irregular posters here to see flames he/she's not privy to.

    Crystal?

    Overheating? Is it in a well ventilated area? All Sky boxes, but espically the Sky+ box, needs air circulating around it.
