    I had a problem a while ago with my dads sky connection, basically the signal started to look scrambled on screen, it was like it was getting a corrupted signal, Now I have my own digibox so am going to stick mine on to rule out the box and the card and see if its the satellite, but if its the box/card/dish, who do I shout at to fix the problem (da really really likes his gaa and hes getting well annoyed at this stage)

    The sub is a couple of years old, and its a dark blue/black and silver pace box. Not sure of the model off hand.

    check the signal strenght and quality in the services menu with both boxes.
    It may be that the dish is slightly off line.
    The older pace boxes were a pile of[insert censored word here] anyway so it may be that the pace box is knackered at this stage.
    I don't think mini boxes are made anymore so if you want a cheapish replacement box, try ebay.

    You could just cancel and take out a new sub in another name at the same address.

    I hear what you are saying earthman, If its the card get onto sky and scream blue murder, but if its the dish get off my arse up to the roof and pull out the compass.

    WRT cancelling the sub, where I live when the installer came, (we already had a dish on the house from the previous owners) and he just stuck a sky box in, ran twenty meters of telephone cable, connected the previous sky cable. And according to my wife he didnt even switch the box onto check. Then he had the cheek to charge my wife twenty yo yos for installation. Hang on installation of what! And i didnt even get the dish that came with that sub!

    And this was skys own installer not some young fella. I rang sky and they couldnt eveng give me the guys name ffs. So to be honest Id rather not cancel the sub.
