    Hi fellow Sat people,

    I have a Pace sky + box, installed 6 months ago. Im in Mayo heres the problem.

    Only in the last day or two, i have noticed on some channels after turning over to them and after about 5-6 seconds the picture freezes, sound and all.

    1, Anything recorded plays perfectly,
    2, RTE 1 for eg is freezing like crazy. same for Sci Fi, but BBC 1 is ok, so is Sky news. something maybe with subs channels possibly.
    3, if on RTE 1 and i pause it before it freezes and play with a delay of about a few seconds its grand. so the playback/recording is all ok,
    4, its just happening when i watch live subs channels,

    Anyone else have this problem, I am going to update the firmware, but does anyone know if this affects any recordings on the HD or any of the programs lined up for recording.

    LNB:mad:

    Firstly what is the signal quality and strenght on your box?
    You can check these by pressing services at the top of your remote
    then no 4 and then no 6

    You will notice 2 lines the further they fill to the right the better.

    Something that often helps the freezing issue is to switch the instant rewind option on your box. To do this :

    Press services on the remote
    press no 5
    highlight instand rewind and move to the left to switch off and then save...

    see how you get on
