    What model of Pace box is it? If it's a Pace 2200/2500, it's possibly a tuner fault. Not sure if it's worth repairing, assuming this to be the case.

    Try it in a friends house maybe, or get the lend of a box to try in your house.

    At least now you know what's at fault. It's probably best to get a box off eBay than repair that one, as it's old now anyway, and newer boxes are quicker.

    Or, as has worked for some, ring Sky and tell them your box is faulty, and see if you can get it replaced for free - this may require you to threaten them with cancelling your subscription.
