For the last few days, the picture on UK gold CH109 and UK Food Ch150 keeps freezing , pixels appearing and the sound jumps. It's only on these 2 channels. Every other channel including UK Gold +1 is perfect. Anyone know what could be causing this?

I had this problem on UK Gold for ages but when I upgraded to Sky+ the problem went away. I figurered it must have been a either a problem with the box.

WEll, I don't plan to upgrade to sky+ just yet. I just can't understand why it is just happening now. It was fine until around a fortnight ago. There was a problem with my original PACE digibox where all the channels were unwatchable due to freezing so I replaced it with my current Panasonic Box. Everything was perfect. All channels were fine. Why me!!!

heres a thought,
possible conspiracy theory here, maybe sky allow it to happen to sky digital in the hope that people get so fed up with it that they change to Sky+.....................hhhhmmmmmmmm

I sat down at the wekend and went through the complete EPG to see how many channels were affected. Basically it seems to be affecting ALL of the UKTV channels excelt UKGold +1 and UKStyle +1.

Do these channels occupy a different bandwidth to the other channels or is there some other reason why only those channels are affected??

I too have found that the picture has degraded in quality over the last week or so but when I check signal strength it is the same strength as usual.

Yes, I've checked the settings for signal strength and quality and they are both very high.

not just you. i have practically given up watching DSAT. 95% of the channels i watch are constant freezing, sound drop outs etc.

Check for damp getting cable and Alignment. Or daft bird perching on LNB arm.
